Hi James,

I'm moving the Melbourne Ruby group over to google groups
http://groups.google.com.au/group/melbourne-ruby
along with another group I organise. It's simple, but like everything
else google seems to make (IMO), it's excellent. If there are reasons
why you want the specific features of rubyforge (wiki or cvs
repository), then that would be a good choice, otherwise I'd recommend
google groups.

Cheers,
Matt
