It might be a good idea to also forward announcements like this to places
like Linux Weekly News, for example, in order to spread the word about
Ruby.  In order for Ruby to gain more well-deserved acceptance we'll need
to do a bit of PR work.  A few weeks back I sent a message to lwn.net
about the Dr. Dobb's Ruby article and asked them if they could include
Ruby in their Development Languages Links - and they did!  Now we should
be sending in some of these announcements (the announcement about IOWA
would be good to send as well) their email is: lwn@lwn.net

Another idea: Maybe somebody could write up a weekly summary of the
highlights of the discussions on this Ruby List, for example and send that
in to LWN as well.

Any other ideas?

Phil
