Subject: Re: Ruby Visual Identity Team

So Matz asked Chad Fowler, David A. Black and James Britt to lead the 
effort to form teams to spruce up ruby-lang.org

=== What needs to be done? ===

According to Matz:
   * form a team to design the appearance
   * form another team to choose the CMS
   * create prototype on that CMS
   * www-admin would replace www.ruby-lang.org

I'd add 1 thing to that, which is to have another team go over the 
current ruby-lang.org site and find outdated pages and broken links. 
This team could then submit one big email to www-admin@ruby-lang.org 
with the list of suggested fixes.  This would just be a band-aid measure 
until the big redesign could be finished.

=== Volunteers so far ===

David Heinemeier Hanson <david@loudthinking.com>, for his m@d business 
skills, and ability to create and promote awesome ideas (and whoever did 
the design for rubyonrails.org, if it wasn't DHH).

Tim Sutherland <timsuth@ihug.co.nz>
His weekly summaries are great, so hopefully he could be involved in 
adding something like that to the main Ruby site.

=== People I hope will volunteer ===

Curt Hibbs is currently setting up a Rubyforge project to help organize 
the effort, and will use its mailing list, trackers, and wiki.

Curt, why don't you take it from here, and tell people what they should 
do next.
