We webmasters’ team of ruby-lang.org have reformed our official
site design, so that we can provide natural contents navigation and
just-in-time information about Ruby.
Now we can offer a trial for a future official site. Here we are:
Our scheme is a double release with ruby 1.6.8; the switchover of
the site will be in the end of this year, unless no critical problems
are found. If you find them, feel free to tell us via this list, or
mail directly to the address below.

I appreciate the announcements of Japanese Ruby books (described in
English). The book announced there: “Ruby Hacking Guide” looks quite
interesting. Now if we could only get English versions of some of these
books…

Horrible! Those with colour deficient sight will have difficultly with all
that red. Someone needs to do a little web search on colour usage.
But at least it isn’t black-on-black which seems to be the design worlds
current obession.

This should be fairly easy to correct, as the site uses CSS stylesheets.
Colour blind people can use a custom stylesheet or use none so that
everything is written black on white. Of course, it’d be great if there
was a link on the top to switch to a high-contrast stylesheet.
Note that these reddish colours are somewhat of a tradition in the Ruby
world, as they suit the “ruby” (gem) idea.
But at least it isn’t black-on-black which seems to be the design worlds
current obession.
Really? I’m glad I don’t browse “commercial” sites.

I think it would help a lot to tone down the red in the main content
blocks. The eye is much more sensitive to red than any other colour, so
bright red is much nastier than bright blue or even bright green
Yes, it’s build on tdiary. But we including the author
of tdiary made some changes to its source for dev.ruby-lang.org. I’m not a responsible person of tDiary
but the author of tdiary probably is goint to release the
new package with dev.ruby-lang.org extensions for
everybody use.
We checked above site to find that our new color scheme
is not easy for protanope (another form of red/green color deficit)
person. We still continues to search how should we do.
Since it seems to take a few days, I droped color definitions
from the css temporalily.
For the most part, this is correct. There is still a lot the designer can do
to help the browser out, though. However, dev.ruby-lang.org isn’t too bad in
terms of accessibility - at least it doesn’t have red-on-green, which would
cause more difficulties for the colour blind. For a lot more on designing web
pages to make them more accessible, a handy link is Mark Pilgrim’s “Dive into
Accessibility” at http://diveintoaccessibility.org/
