No clue here, but they've written the best documentation so far, in  
my opinion.  :)

Gnome is an alias of the writer of the guide.  You can sometimes  
catch him on IRC (also as 'nome').

Hey, I have worked hard to make these stats available, not only for you 
but the whole ruby community. FYI, these are being computed by a *Ruby* 
script.

I appreciate your feed back, but is not that more like a dictator's 
appeal. I you realy hate these stats, just killfile these ;)

That's a good one, thanks. I'll re-phrase the disclaimer soon.

But did you check to see if they were desired?  :)

I've seen a lot of requests on here for them to go and no one begging  
for them to stay.  I'll add my voice:  I think they belong on a  
website, not here.

For what it's worth, I would much rather have Chris Pine's Tutorial  
notices that he didn't feel there was enough approval to start  
sending...

Re: mswin32-ruby17.dll, which distribution contains it

ruby 1.7 was an old development version, and the DLL shouldn't
nor must not be contained in any distributions.  From where did
you download it?

Re: sciTe editor IRB window getting double characters

    There is SciTE documentation at
http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTEDoc.html
    "Environment variables are also available as properties and these 
are overridden by an explicit setting in one of the properties files."

    The one click installer could do this but standard SciTE does not 
use an installer and doesn't know where Ruby (or PHP or Rexx) is 
installed. I think it is much easier to set variables in properties 
files than to set environment variables on Windows.

    It depends on how it is used, so for example, if it is passed to a 
command line program then that program may require paths containing 
spaces to be quoted.

I agree.  While these stats may be interesting to a few, they really
don't belong in the general list.  They serve no purpose for the
majority of posters, and don't further any discussion other than to
their own existance.  Since you seem to be against "dictatorships" I
VOTE that they be moved to a website.  And in the spirit of
cooperation if you are un-able to find your own hosting, I will be
more than willing to provide some space.

Well, I'll admit that they are interesting to me.

I will also say this: BSD's post is JUST as relevant (and, IMO,  
important) to the list as say, Ruby Weekly News posts. Both are data  
about the list itself, one being an index and the other being an  
aggregate. I like both. I wish both to stay. I wish both to stay on  
the mailing list as that is what they pertain to. If anything, the  
stats should ALSO go to a website. I'd also provide space to host  
them if needed.
