Subject: [ruby-talk:29040] Re: How can we get publicity for 1.8 release?

Of course, as stated before, ruby should be aiming at all the platforms it runs under, not just linux. And I'm never quite sure whether to trust things i see on /. anymore... ;) I wonder how hard it would be to get Cnet and all the other Windows sites to at least mention it. And if someone had the $$$ to donate, ruby could be listed on versiontracker.com in the sponsored links section... Just a couple ideas, anyone have better ones?
