To quote some well-known old man: "Do or don't. There is no try." 
People use Ruby or they don't. Nobody I know of did *try* Ruby and 
then not start using it.

"crusade" is a hard word. I'd prefer calling it evangelization the 
traditional Societas Jesu way >;-> Actually Sascha's idea reminds me 
of what Greenpeace did in the past.

Anyway: Ruby evangelization is important because many people who 
don't use Ruby simply do so because the don't know it exists.
