I fear change. Could you please stop improving your software and just
write it correctly the first time? Thanks.
While all those packages are outstanding and/or ground-breaking, I
personally think that the RSS feed @ rubyforge or some ruby news
aggregator site would be more appropriate for announcing updates of
well-known & essential packages.

Yup, and 300+ is just "bloat". Can't you wrap them up in a single
instance?

You still want this one?
I prefer new and interesting packages to well-known and essential packages.
The latter can be handled automatically through RubyGems because all the
ones I care about I already have installed. The former: well, I want to
hear about them because I don't have them installed!

NO. You want to talk to the largest crowd. It's a marketing problem. ~t.

Sorry, release announcements have been happening here for years.
PS: I may have even argued against them, but I'm too lazy to check the archives.

Even if that were possible, I fear it would require a level of
dedication to TDD that Ryan simply doesn't possess.
*whoosh!*

Approved. Yet, I'd prefer a dedicated ruby-announcements list that
comprises ruby-related announcments/news from sourceforge, rubyforge,
github etc.
What's well known and essential for you might be new and interesting for others.
Or do you have the time to read and try out everything ever announced in here?

Seems like you could pretty easily filter this stuff yourself, since
every recent release announcement on ruby-talk has "[ANN]" in the
subject.

I like the tradition of announcing releases of Ruby packages on RT.
Now if more folks will come up with that many releases a designated
mailing list might be a better idea though.

Unfortunately, Google Groups don't have filters. Neither has the ruby
forum.
Me too. It's one of the reasons I stick around. There's still no greater single source of Ruby information.
