Hi "S", > Would a newbie list be worth creating?
I would encourage you to just go ahead and ask on this list, for several reasons: a) The people who would answer are here, so they may as well answer b) It could be a bug, in which case it belongs here c) It helps us understand usage issues, which may inform features and documentation The more interesting question to me is when do we create a macruby-users list for those using the "stable" version -- or move development OF macruby to a "macruby-core"? I guess it depends on when MacRuby is stable enough and popular enough. At any rate, it isn't yet. -enp On Dec 15, 2009, at 11:21 AM, s.ross wrote: > There are a number of questions I know I have coming from a Ruby/Rails and > not a Cocoa background.
