Seems fine to me.  It's really just a variation of the monthly
"Welcome to this newsgroup" postings that lots of groups have and
no-one thinks those are inappropriate.  I'd expect the posting to be
clearly marked as an announcement, but given that, no problems.  I'd
think such an posting should be at most monthly, but I'd happily bend
that rule if it encouraged more people to look at Ruby.

Cheers,
