Thanks team for your effort.

My take on this:

When it comes to the content, or picking what should go in the front
page, choosing what's hot, popular or having the power of igniting a
superb Ruby PR machine I think it should be wise to have a good read
at Paul Graham's essay on popularity.

Matz has been quoted several times talking about his fondness for
LISP, and how it helped him to figure out what Ruby should be, and I
think there's a great deal of wisdom we're inheriting from the LISP
hackers that preceded us.

Graham has the ability to put into simple words what would otherwise
take me rivers of ink (or carpal syndrome) for me to write about.

Especially paragraph number 9.

And then redesign, comment, ellaborate some more, and think of what we
REALLY want for the long term.
