Well, first of all, we need to summarize the features of Ruby, as in
README file.  Then, invite them to the list.

In addition, I'd like to show them Ruby's strong points comparing
those languages in the articles to the comp.lang.{perl.misc,python},
such as:

  * is object-oriented from scratch.
  * has true conservative GC.
  * need no mortalizing tmporary objects in extension modules (against perl).
  * need no ref-count maintenance in extension modules (against python).
  * faster execution (against python).

etc.
