Hello. Well, first things first, "Ruby" and "Ruby on Rails", while
confusingly named, aren't the same thing. Rails is a web framework that
makes use of the Ruby language -- and not something you'd need for
Puppet. So e-mailing the Rails list isn't going to help you; sorry.

Instead, I suggest you head over here:
https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/

That being said, "quickly and easily" are probably two things that don't
really go together with programming languages. While I really like Ruby
-- more than any other language I've used, which surprised me when I
finally dove in about a year ago -- if you really want to get to
understand a language, you have to dig in and take your time.
There are plenty of online resources for Ruby; I might suggest starting
here:

Good luck!
