[ANN] Red: The Ruby Journal, a professional periodical for Ruby developers

[Hal Fulton]

I really like "Red Letter". It has a nice twisted, compelling something
about it.

I'll mull it over. Any other ideas?

The Scarlet Letter?

Code Red? Red Alert?


Cheers,
Hal

I agree, for what it is worth.

The Scarlet Letter?

Code Red? Red Alert?

The Red Menace? Better Red than Dead?

 

[Gregory Brown]

I agree, for what it is worth.

The scarlet letter, I like that.

Actually, Red Letter is good though too

 

[Bill Guindon]

The Red Menace? Better Red than Dead?

Yeah, that's what crossed my mind when I said I didn't like the name.=20
'Red Magazine' sounds like the socialist party newsletter.

I do like Red Letter, and Scarlet Letter is hysterical

"Red Letter".

'Red Magazine' sounds like the socialist party newsletter.

Since the fall of communism in the USSR I think the general perceived
"threat" from socialism and communism is much less, therefore "red"
has lost some of its socialist connotations (at least for me.)

Given the nicer connotations of Red Letter, that may be a better
choice. Also according to the Wikipedia entry for "red letter day",
the highlighted red words on those red letter calendar days are also
known as "rubrics", a word obviously quite close to Ruby. In fact
should the magazine come to be known as Red Letter, it would be
amusing to have a column called Rubrics (which could have general
highlights from the Ruby community in the last month.) The subtle word
plays going on there are quite interesting.

Scarlet Letter, while amusing, clearly has negative connotations to
anyone familiar with the literary work of the same name.

Yeah, forgive me, I'm an old libertarian.

Liked the name before, but love it with the added 'rubrics' connection.

Yep, read it, great book. Just found the suggestion amusing.=20
Wouldn't recommend it.

That's what makes it funny! I imagine there is some Java house out
there making their rubyists wear big red R's on their shirts... for
sinning against the nature of structured language.

But I suppose Red Letter might be a kinder, gentler, more cheerful name

Yeah, it wasn't a serious suggestion, which is why I couldn't resist
making it.

[OT] I once saw a cartoon of a bunch of Puritan women with red A's on
their dresses, looking rather hateful or jealous... while one walked
by looking rather smug, wearing a large red "A+".

Hi!

It needs a better name, but that's just me.

Some possible names in alphabetic order:

Red Ruby Reader
Red-Blooded Ruby
Red-Hot Ruby(*)
Relucent Ruby
Ruby
Ruby Gems
Ruby Magazine
Ruby Rail
Ruby Reason
Ruby Reflections
Ruby Report
Ruby Repository
Ruby Review Letters
Ruby Rites
Ruby Roundup
Ruby Update
Ruby.roundup
Ruby.update

My #1 is "Ruby" - it feels adequate for a non-chatty programming
language (as would "The object-oriented COBOL programmer's monthly
journal." for the COBOL logorrhoea ;-).

If it came out once a week, it could be called Ruby Tuesday.

That's one of my very favorites.

My *most* favorite I am keeping to myself, in case I want to
use it myself. I even think the .org is available.

Ruby Begonia?

Can't we just sublet a column in Ranger Rick magazine? I like to limit
my subscriptions to a single source for amazing facts and beaver tales.
