Maybe we should wait until they have something genuinely interesting to write about, and then link to it.

Fair enough. Though I have already benefited tremendously from new reader feedback, everything from fixing RSS feed validation to proofreading.

I think two articles up so far are genuinely interesting though, FWIW.

Then link to them. It's Hacker News, not Hacker Blog Promotion.

I thought announcements might be news-worthy, especially when the tech under the hood is all hackable. I actually did check the guidelines before posting, but I should lurk moar, perhaps.

Maybe what you want to do is write a blog post introducing the blog, providing context as to why the blog authors are notable and what some upcoming stories are, and then link to that, instead of just the blog front page.

That already exists, and maybe I should have linked it instead, you're right. But I imagine one post is enough for today :)

Here it is for those interested, though: http://blog.rubybestpractices.com/posts/gregory/welcome.html

Just announced today. Will feature posts from James Britt, Gregory Brown, Kirk Haines, Robert Klemme, Jeremy McAnally, Sean O’Halpin, Magnus Holm and Lakshan Perera. Focus is on showing how to write better Ruby code through practical examples.

Still a good link to put in my delicious. Next time I find it they'll (hopefully) have lots of great content.
