Not sure what you're aiming at. Is it something for people to find Ruby devs locally? Or something to evangelise Ruby? Because (as Caius said) if people are looking for Ruby developers then I don't see a problem with workingwithrails and LinkedIn - I get far more offers through them (and google) than I can deal with (although many are admittedly rubbish). I do think there is a bigger need for Ruby training - I've seen more than a few Rails apps that would put potential clients off Ruby for life. And once Ruby gets a bad rep (it can't scale you know) the work will dry up. Baz.
