Ruby Weekly is regularly the source of Ruby news I recommend the most. It was
surprised not to find it in the community resources.

I doubt @peterc will object. :-)

No objections! :) If I had anything to add, it'd be to probably replace Ruby Inside on "Blogs of Note" with RubyFlow, given that Ruby Inside is no longer actively updated. But that's probably a topic for another day :)

That was going to be my next PR.

I'm not completely convinced yet about a complete new section/page for a single newsletter.

(And again, I'm not too happy about the commit message...)

Maybe the "Weblogs" page - https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/weblogs/ - should become a more general page linking to sources of Ruby "news". Most of what's on that page aren't traditional blogs anyway (Digg, Reddit) or are no longer what the page claims they are (RubyCorner). Actually, I just checked, and on that page only a single "blog" goes to anything that's actually a blog and still updated, and that's the official Rails blog!

A "news" page could link to things like /r/ruby, blogs, RubyFlow, newsletters, Twitter accounts, etc. and actually be useful and up to date.

Also, you could certainly add some more newsletters, including the semi-official Rails updates one at https://rails-weekly.ongoodbits.com/ and http://greenruby.org/ is also generally pretty good.

@peterc Thanks for your valuable hints. I hope I can find the time soon to update the page accordingly.

olivierlacan added a commit to olivierlacan/www.ruby-lang.org that referenced this pull request Nov 21, 2018
Removed several defunct blogs:
- Ruby Inside: last updated in 2014 (4 years ago)
- O'Reilly Ruby: doesn't exist anymore
- Matz' Blog: not updated since 2014
- Slashdot link, since https://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=Ruby
reveals almost no recent mentions of Ruby, Reddit and HN are far more
active these days.

Added:
- RubyFlow: replacement for Ruby Inside as community-submitted news
- Ruby Weekly: although not a blog, arguably the most popular news
source and since ruby#1465 was a tough sell for a single Newsletter, I
believe it belongs on this list

Also took the opportunity to replace number-based reference links to
make @stomar happy. Even though he hates my verbose commit messages. <3

Changed:
- the title was "Weblogs" even though the body uses "Blogs", let's be
consistent as "weblog" has fallen out of fashion, or rather has never
been in fashion to begin with:
