I have a puppy in the fight - I started a ruby tutorial titled "Teach Yourself Ruby the Hard Way", but didn't make it past chapter 1, so when Zed released his book I figured it was only right to let him have the name, and rename mine if I ever get around to completing it (2013 resolution!).

So from that perspective, I can't help but agreee that even if Zed is fine with this project, it's a bad idea. It's an unnecessary muddying of a "brand" that has had a lot of work put into it.
