Exactly, that describes my feelings looking for Ruby documentation. Compare these three sites: http://www.php.net/ http://pear.php.net/ http://smarty.php.net/ If you know one of them, you already know your way around all the others. Visit http://www.ruby-lang.org/ then http://www.ruby-doc.org/, and you wonder if they are even websites about the same language! Even a little logo graphic like the attached would be brilliant, something which anyone who wanted to say "this is a Ruby website" could use. It might make people just being introduced to Ruby think "well, at least this isn't a page about XHTML 1.0 Ruby".
