I'm not sure what you're getting at here.  The very first alpha docs
were hosted on rubyforge.  ruby-doc.org was seen as a step in the
right direction, by me and Tom Copeland.  I suppose the tarball could
go there, but then, why bother?

James, I'm sure ruby-doc.org is coping with the download demands? ;)

I've not heard anything. Last I checked there's a good deal of space and bandwidth.

I have no problem hosting both formats, but I agree with the assessment regarding recent versions of winzip supporting tar/tgz. Suporting zip may be like building a web site for NN4: why bother, unless you alienate some significant number of people.

Since it adds overhead to the upload process, I say drop the zip version.
