[ANN] www.ruby-lang.org article submitter wanted

Hi,

As you may know, http://www.ruby-lang.org/ is now blog-like style
using tDiary system. Currently, all of our article writers are
Japanese. As a consequence, English pages tend to be less updated
than Japanese pages.

Are there anybody who is willing to join us as an article writer?

						matz.

I would like to do so.

Certainly. What sort of articles and how often would updates be
needed?

I looked at the site but did not see how to submit articles.
Also, when viewing the site from Netscape, it looks very different
that from IE. I don’t get any anything but the center column,
in black and white.

There’s “update” link at the bottom of the left column, but you have
to do BASIC authentication to update.

that from IE. I don’t get any anything but the center column,
in black and white.

The current site design heavily depends on CSS, so that you don’t get
the best result from old Netscape browser.

But nevertheless it is very strange that he can only see the central
column. Even lynx does not have any problems with displaying the
whole page. Personally I use w3m (with graphics) which works fine.
The columns from left to right become top, middle and bottom.

Just an important remark: For some alien reason Netscape only
supports stylesheets if javascript is enabled. Do not ask me why,
I only know that it is so.

Because stylesheets, as originally envisioned by Netscape, were
implemented with and in Javascript. When CSS was formalized, it ended
up not being a Javascript thing after all, but Netscape just hacked
away at their original implementation until it sort of resembled what
some early CSS drafts looked like.
