Wow, I can't tell you how much more I like that than the current 
ruby-doc site.

I love the documentation but ugh, the interface.  The banner ad at the 
top?  I know, bandwidth is expensive, but ugh.  The fonts are also 
really small, and there's just too much text, going across the entire 
screen.

The one minor thing I'd propose (other than a titanium body with a 
ghettochest for yours truly) is that there be some visual cue that it's 
one of the main Ruby sites.  Maybe a shared icon in the upper left 
corner, or a shared Ruby banner, or something.
