We retire raa.ruby-lang.org

Posted by hsbt on 8 Aug 2013

We decided to suspend raa.ruby-lang.org, also known as “Ruby Application Archive (RAA)”. We have no server or human resources to continue hosting raa.ruby-lang.org. If you still need to browse raa.ruby-lang.org, please visit RAA in the Internet Archive.

The “Ruby Application Archive” was first started in 1997. It moved to raa.ruby-lang.org in 2003 and introduced a lot of useful libraries to Rubyists. Please use RubyGems.org and The Ruby Toolbox instead. Thanks.
