Hi all,

I've suggested by Forrest Cahoon <[e-mail]>, 
like following.  What do you guys think about this?

Hello Matz!

(personal message and complain about python indentation snipped)

I believe it would be a very good idea to make a concerted effort to
popularize Ruby outside of Japan -- a P/R campaign.  I have a few ideas
how to do this:

1) Move your source archive over to http://sourceforge.net/.  Sponsored
by VA Linux Systems, who now has incredible resources, this may soon
prove to be _the_ place where developers and projects find each other.
(This would incidentally mean that you wouldn't have to worry about
maintaining servers.

2) Put out an "urgent call" for non-Japanese developers.  Try to get the
story on Slashdot.  Since VA Linux Systems just acquired Andover (and
thus Slashdot), this may be more successful in conjunction with (1).

I am sure there is more.  I will be glad to help in this endeavor if
you're interested in persuing it.  While I would rather be programming
than writing, I do have the skill in the English language to write this
sort of "advertising".

Please let me know if you are interested.
