I think with the continuing growth of Ruby and RoR that this might be a very good idea.

For now, post questions in Software Development:Legacy and Other Languages. If there's enough traffic, I'm sure something can be worked out.

Ok, I will for now.

But here's one vote for a seperate RoR category.

Best Regards,

I vote for this also: Ruby\ ROR. This is becoming a vastly growing language. Many sites do not host a forum area for this either. A new Ruby forum may just attract more to this thriving community.

But I hope you understand that creating a forum requires atleast a few core members who have atleast some kind of experience in that kind of development..otherwise we end up just collecting threads which go unanswered.

Add my vote to the ROR category as well

mine too

As was implied earlier, who's qualified to Mod the new forum? Who knows RoR well enough to give help?

I know Ruby on Rails, but there aren't enough posts right now on DaniWeb about RoR to justify a new forum for it. It is becoming more and more popular each day, but that doesn't mean that every website needs to have a forum about it, IMO. It's not a framework that's as easy to pick up as, say, a language like PHP, which we have a forum for, and we have lots of pretty newbie PHP programmers come here. If there were RoR questions, chances are that those developers would be knowledgeable enough to seek other ways to solve their problems, like mailing lists, IRC, etc. and wouldn't come to DaniWeb, where we don't serve the hardcore programmer as much. Just my 2 cents
