FWIW, I beg to differ. The -ist thing doesn't sound with me ...
I prefer a longer name that is easier to remember and that
consists of simple _plain_ (full, not abbreviated) words, that
are easy to pronouce and understand.

If we want to do Ruby in Belgium, let's just call it that way.
Why make it more difficult ?

Hey, but in the end it is irrelevant what the name is, as long
as it is unique (that means not already taken in google, DNS
and in TradeMark land).

* Google(rubyist) : 640,000 hits
* Google (RubyBelgium) : 0 hits

That's clear to me ...

Peter
