I enjoyed the Linux Counter ([http://counter.li.org/](http://counter.li.org/)) in the early days of Linux adoption and so when we had some free time, one of my team tossed together a little app for registering and counting Ruby users. It’s at [http://www.rubyusers.com](http://www.rubyusers.com) If you think it’s a good idea, please sign up. Or you could just do it for the link back to your homepage, cv or blog. If you think it’s a bad idea, then I’m really sorry to have bothered you.

Wow! I’ll tell the guy who developed it. I guess the validation is too strict. Sorry about that. We’ll probably fix it tomorrow. He told me today that he’s added gravitars and a few other enhancements, too. We’ll get those launched soon.
