I guess we could use it to announce and reports about BRUG events,
Ruby and Rails conferences.
Except for that... In their current state, I'm doubtful there is much
for us - the BRUG community - in such a service. Maybe later, once
they've matured and found a voice.

It's one more site that tries and tells too little about too much.
I'm sure they could find a readership (obviously more
business-oriented than technical), but don't count me in: their
English counterparts are wayyy better, in contents and format.

an option.

That's another story but I don't trust IT people who can't understand
English: where do they get their information from? Sites like this one
I guess.
Also, I checked all the sections for both languages, and their
contents never matched.
Compare

to

Poor.

Finally, I don't wan't to be - too - picky but if you reject English
and pretend to be linguistically asexual, you have to do it the proper
way :
- http://nl.itprofessional.be/communitylink.cfm
does'nt work, you have to use
- http://www.itprofessional.be/communitylink.cfm
, the default.
