The Debian/Ruby Teams

The Debian/Ruby teams maintain the Ruby interpreters, libraries and applications. There are actually two different Ruby teams in Debian:

  • the pkg-ruby team maintains the interpreter
  • the pkg-ruby-extras team maintains libraries and applications

Most discussions happen on the http://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/ debian-ruby@ mailing list. Discussions specific to pkg-ruby-extras also happen on the http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers@ list. You should be subscribed to both if you want to follow Ruby in Debian.

We also use IRC (#debian-ruby on irc.debian.org) quite a lot.
