Guys,
Last year, I remember seeing an impressive redesign of ruby-lang.org
(http://redhanded.hobix.com/redesign2005). However, no mention since
last May, and no switchover. I really think this new design would be a
boon to the community. Anyone know what happened?
Thanks,
B.A.

There has been mention of the site on this list quite recently actually. We're in the latter stages of content import and creation now. You can browse the largely functional site at:

have a look at http://new.ruby-lang.org
I don't know if it's the same re-design, but it's certainly different from
ruby-lang.org

It is hot...I wonder if the effort is dead? Will this new look every
replace the current version?
Anyone?

The webmaster has been responsive if sent corrections or content for
the new site.
What might help though is if there were a "this site's current status"
page describing the timeline, what's being worked on, what's needed,
and so on.

I would rather have us spending our energy finishing the site than talking about finishing the site. 
Be patient just a little longer now folks. We're really very close now...

Woops...sorry...read too fast. Great! I'm very much looking forward to
it going live.

Try not to jump into the same shoe as FreeBSD. They rushed into
a new website so fast that once they got there, they realized it
wasn't that nice after all.
Speaking as a graduate from the Royal Academy of Arts in London,
the current Ruby website looks far better than the new one.
The new one looks to me like a badly designed approach to the
whole web 2.0 hype. As they say, if you can't do it, don't.
All the best,
Kyrre

Thanks for all your efforts.
I was looking at the Japanese version of the site and
noticed that 'Ruby' appeared in Latin script in the middle
of the Japanese script. I was just curious as to what
convention leads to that occurrence. I would have expected
there to be a Kanji, Hiragana, or Katakana character for 'ruby'
(based on my 30 second reading of the Wikipedia entry for Japanese
Writing System).

I wouldn't say the new site looks bad, but I don't like when the page doesn't expand to fill my monitor. In this regard the old ruby site is superior. I actually really like the current ruby site.

Just as professionals in every other area have disagreements, I imagine that
your opinion here differs from that of the designer responsible for the new
site's look.
However, I would be curious to hear a more detailed, specific criticism of
what you see as bad in the new site design.

Speaking as a Web 2.0 Ruby coding non-college graduate ex- drywall
hanger extraordinaire..
I completely disagree with your statement.
http://new.ruby-lang.org/en/ is definitely an improvement over
http://ruby-lang.org/en/\. Anyone could see that, art academy degree
or not.

How does a comment like this constructively help all the people who are sacrificing free-time to make this new site happen? Please, think before you make light of their efforts.
As they say, if you can't do it, don't.
We look forward to your CSS submissions.

Ruby is Ruby even in the Japanese text. You can write the red jewel
name in Katakana, but we don't consider it as a language name.

The new site looks very professional. Functionality
problems, if any, will surely be worked out in time.
Speaking as the author of some of the worst looking
websites on the planet (with some of the best
content), I admit to being extraordinarily jealous.
:_)
James, can you provide a link to where possible contributors might
grab the site source via anon cvs/svn?

Thanks Matz, for the insight and for not-the-red-jewel-Ruby!
