...thanks to Harry Vangberg for the suggestion. It's on
irc.freenode.net, channel name is #rubyforge.

I hate to ask a dumb question, but what is its purpose (i.e. how does it
complement the existing #ruby-lang channel)?

That's interesting. What's the, er, charter of the channel?

Just a place for folks to suggest things for RubyForge, ask questions,
etc. For example, Daniel Berger suggested cvsgraph for RubyForge, and,
wa-la:

[url]http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/projects/core/source/buffer.rb?graph=1.50&cvsroot=aeditor[/url]

I expect it to be a pretty low-traffic channel, but I'm keeping it open
in a tab in case someone drops by.

Yours,

Tom

I like the idea though, and it's nice to have someone be so responsive to
suggestions.

Yup, I think I was aiming for something along the lines of Sesame
Street's The Amazing Mumford's "A la peanut butter sandwiches!"
incantation, which usually proceeded the transformation of his assistant
into a rabbit.

Or as a friend of mine used to say: "Viola!"
He said no one ever got it but me.

I almost hesitate to admit this, but a family(-in law) member of mine

pronounces the frozen-almost-ready-to-eat-dinner-in-a-bag product as
"Chicken Viola" instead of "Chicken Voila". In a serious tone, mind
you.

And for dessert, a Cello Pudding Pop?

As my Dad always says - "There's a vast [pronounced with a long 'a']
difference between hyperbole and hyperbowl."

I figured it'd just be a place where folks could pop in and suggest things,
report problems, etc., without going to the trouble of putting in an actual
RubyForge support request thingy.

I daresay it'll be pretty low traffic... and if it ends up being zero
traffic, I'll just close it down....
