Who's Stabbing the Newbs? #

by why in cult

From the Twisted-Python ML:

In this e-mail thread, someone wrote that people who say Twisted has no docs ought to be stabbed in the face. Obviously, this was intended as humor, but I believe that this social custom, as with other related social customs in Twistedland, deter people from some other cultures from participating.

I hate RTFM. I hate it. It reeks of superiority. I don’t find violent comments offensive really (it’s just another employment of hyperbole), but I beg of you—please don’t lord your Rubyness over others. (Seen on effbot.)

RubyForums Looking for Moderator #

by why in cult

The host of RubyForums, a bulletin board laid out to house conversations on a gamut of Ruby-related topics, is looking for help moderating.

Since we’re starting out, moderator positions are open. While we can’t offer any money at this point, you will receive free hosting with our parent company, OCS Solutions for your efforts. Anyone interested, please PM me. [link]

If you’re looking for public discussion of Ruby, also see Ruby Forum (though the topics are slim pickens at present) and maybe the Rails forum at Textdrive. Any others?
