FWIW, I don't work for Linux Journal, and they've published a Ruby 
article of mine, on OOo parsing.  And, at least when I was dealing with 
them, they were on the lookout for more Ruby articles.

But it's interesting to see articles from people whose names never seem 
to appear on this mailing list (though the number of Ruby metaverses has 
expanded.)

Some of what I've seen seems like simple rewording of content from other 
places, such as the Rails wiki, and simple errors are not uncommon, 
suggesting that the authors have a somewhat limited, and focused, area 
of knowledge.

Which is fine, so long as what they write is accurate.
