Great. But to be honest, my favorite for the moment is rubyist.be, and a
subdomain brug.rubyist.be for the BRUG. The way I see it, our main goal
is to bring Ruby to Belgium. The user group is only one facet of this.
It's an important facet, but a facet nonetheless. Having this reflected
in the domain name is a good thing, because this nuance *will* matter if
this Ruby-Belgium thing kicks off. In a way, brug.be would keep us
captive inside the BRUG notion. Symbolically only, sure, but symbols do
matter. But all pseudo-psychological babble aside, I just think that
having a superdomain to that of the BRUG may come in handy sooner or
later. If we never need it, no harm done, if we do, we can save on curses.

My €0.02.
