I found this on the JavaBlackBelt news feed:

When Dmitry Buzdin, from Latvia, proposed us to develop a Ruby - basic exam and we welcomed the initiative warmly. The objectives are ready and you can start filling it with questions.
We've had some reactions from the Ruby and the JavaBlackBelt communities already.

To the Ruby community, we say: Yes, we know the well-known SCJP certification suffers problems, and it's partially why we made JavaBlackBelt. It's up to you to help defining this basic level exam, fill it with no-nonsense no-trick questions, and make it the way you like. It can be one more great tool for Ruby new learners.

To the JavaBlackBelt community, we say: We understand that JavaBlackBelt is not RubyBlackBelt. Let's host our guest at JavaBlackBelt for the moment and we'll program the necessary healthy separation as needed (e.g.: Ruby knowledge points not counting for Java belt track; RubyBlackBelt.com ?).


I think it is odd that the JavaBlackBelt site will be providing access to Ruby developers the ability to enter questions for a new Ruby basics exam. This kind of supports my experiences recently when I've tried to find resources for Ruby on Rails or Python. There simply isn't the support system for other languages that there is for Java.
