In trying to update my Ruby gems today, I got some strange errors. Upon navigating to the Ruby on Rails site, I saw the following:
So what’s the word? Did the main Ruby site get hijacked or expired? If so, this could be yet another obstacle to enterprise adoption of Ruby/Rails.
Update: This post has been posted to Digg, and comments there indicate that the RoR IRC channel has acknowledged an issue with the domain, and they are “looking into it” (i.e. – 37 Signals is calling their lawyers).
Seems like it is a real issue and the site had expired, the RoR IRC channel says: “rubyonrails.org problems are being investigated”
According to http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=rubyonrails&tld=org

That girl is very pretty though.
This forum post may shed a little light on what’s happening http://antionline.com/showthread.php?t=276894
