Q.1 What is 'Planet Ruby'
A.1 automatically RSS rolling. and generates summarying HTML site.
Perl and Python are already having 'Planet-site'.
Perl : http://planet.perl.org/
Python : http://www.planetpython.org/

but,'Planet Ruby' has not automatically rolling.
human writer are rollings 'RSS-FEED' & 'diary update

I introduce it about the Japanese Rubyist circumstance.

Japanese Rubyist are:
(1) ruby-list is deserted.
Average 3-5 mails per day
(2) IRC channel is deserted.
50 people are stationed in IRC channel.
but there are only some messages on 1day.
(3) They don't want to write it about Ruby in the place of
blog/diary.
(4) They are poor at the exchange of the mail.
but They speak fluently when it meets it in the place of
the event.

Are you saying there's a problem with this?

I think there are serious problems.
The atmosphere which cannot be asked is created.
As for a beginner, contributing to ruby-list is fearful.

I'm not sure. ruby-list become less active for a year or two. If
its reason is the bad atmosphere that Moonwolf suspects, it is a
problem we need to solve.

No good.. hmm..

<lightbulb>
write in the irc-welcome message.. that everybody is encuraged to ask
questions... otherwise it will become an inactive forum.
</lightbulb>

I hope this patern gets broken somehow..

maybe link to a html document which mentions this pattern and
what to do if one is releative new to ruby (and that he doesn't have to be
affraid).
