I agree, we should wait a bit, and see how it works before we start
advertising on ruby-lang.org.  The wiki leads me to believe that it
has only actually happened once.  It would be neat if we could get it
on maybe the mailing list subscribe page, and on ruby-forum, as just a
little hint.  something like Remember: There is a community driven
one-on-one mentor program you can sign up for, try it! It's easy!
