[ANN] Redesign 2005 Blog

why the lucky stiff

3/11/2005 2:12:00 PM

The vit-core team (assigned to redesign ruby-lang.org) has unveiled our
first two designs today. We're rolling these out with a new blog so you
can comment on each design and watch the RSS feed for updates.

http://redhanded.hobix.com/red...

Your feedback is essential to this project! If you have comments, post
them on the blog soon so we can move this project along.

Thanks, Rubyland.

There seem to be some problems with the blog itself. When writing a
comment, neither the "preview" button nor the "fancy stuff" link did
anything when I clicked them. This is on Firefox 1.0.1 on Windows XP.

However, since the mail/news gateway is supposedly not working, you
probably won't even see this post. :-/

You can either post on the blog, or you can join the discussion ML:

(Posted on the blog - but I thought I'd bring it up here too)

I like the design of both layouts. But IMO this poll should really be
about selecting the "default" template for ruby-lang.org. I don't know
how flexible the (X)HTML is - but shouldn't it be possible to ship a
bunch of CSS's and let the user choose which one to use?

but doing this would "avoid" one of the main reason to redesign
ruby-lang: have a better entry point for people new to the language.

To make it easier for those of us working on the project, it would be
really helpful if the comments on the two designs were put on the blog,
and comments about the process in general, or any other Ruby site design
things went to the vit-discuss mailing list:

Maybe this is OT, but check out http://www.csszeng... for a cool
example of multiple CSS choices over the same HTML. I think my favorite
is "table layout assassination!".

It looks good.. its difficult to choose.


Aredridel suggested to put a link to a mac binary on the frontpage.
The number of mac persons that does ruby seems high.

There should be an OSX version of the One-Click Ruby Installer fairly soon,
so this shouldn't be a problem.
