Calling all open source maintainers working with Ruby
https://www.rubyforum.org/t/calling-all-open-source-maintainers-working-with-ruby/553I'm not a ruby dev, but what makes this forum authoritative? It launched 7 months ago and the admins seem to be some random business owners? The posts have a couple of replies each? Like this feels as newsworthy as if I hosted a forum called rubycentral.org and announced all ruby projects should move there?
Good question. I can not answer those questions.
However had, I can also add that RubyCentral had no authority over me or my projects, but still decided to add that pointless 100k download limit or mass purge old devs (https://www.theregister.com/software/2025/09/22/rubygems-mai...).
The way I read that initiative here, though, was that they simply add a forum or subforum for discussions. This may be pointless for those hosted at github or what not, but for some projects it may add an additional option. Not everyone uses github or gitlab for instance.
> all ruby projects should move there
Do they move? The way I understood it was that they referred only to discussions, not hosting. Did I misread that part?
