Is the rubygarden.org site still in operation? The URL is taking me to a
domain park.

I'm under the impression it had shutdown due to spam.

For anyone listening, I think Ruby could really use a general-purpose
wiki to handle FAQs, compare Ruby programs like servers and databases,
and point to good books and blogs.

So, that'd be... oh, I don't know... rubygarden?

Seriously, I would be a little annoyed if it has just disappeared,
there was some good content on there.

I believe an emphasis is rather in "providing all that is rather
important on one site". With "one site" i refer to the official rube
hompage, and I also personally wouldn't mind if the official ruby
webpage became more "feature rich". That being said, I never used or
visited rubygarden much, and I cant recall being there in the last ~3
years.

My fault. I let it expire because the registrar had an old email address
for my contact info. Should be back soon.

Rubygarden.org appears to be gone again. Is this a permanent gone or
just another lapse?

Between losing _why's wonderful documentation and the rubygarden wiki,
all my starting references and things I'd point people to for learning
ruby are being vaporized.

Even a read-only version would be nice (spam sucks).

If it has been officially retired, then some cleanup ought to be done to
remove references from the ruby-lang website and some other prominent
rubyist websites.

I can't help you there. I am pretty sure try ruby is already free of
references to ruby garden.

Brilliant! I didn't even think of that. Thanks.

Thanks for taking keeping TryRuby alive. TryRuby is an invaluable
service for quickly redirecting people interested in checking Ruby out.
