What about spec.ruby-doc.org? It's already got a lot of documentation
for various aspects of 1.8, and I'd be ecstatic if it could be used as a
cooperative place to document Ruby 1.9 as well.

That would be fantastic. Perhaps we could branch the 1.8 spec and 1.9
spec so the work can continue on both?

We could easily provide a 1.8 and 1.9 entry point, and they could
cross-link whereever necessary. It would simply be a matter of adding
some links to the front-page as it exists now and possibly splitting
some existing articles into 1.8 and 1.9-compatible versions.

I can make this change any time (and of course, so can all of
you)...shall I?

I control the wiki's hosting at the moment, so I could also set it up
for multiple languages, if it would make it easier to get documentation
up to have separate Japanese/English pages.

That would be great, Charles. I'm looking over what's there now and
hopefully I can start contributing after the holidays.

Thanks!

Jeremy,

I'd like to get involved with this as well. Let me know when you're
going to start working on it.
