Nihon Ruby no Kai (Japan Ruby Group) launched a project
for revising ruby-lang.org last month.

Now we are collecting feedback on www.ruby-lang.org[1]. We will
make a report and/or a plan of renewal of Ruby's site to
www-admin team.

We may not have enough skill of graphical design and coding,
but we can focus usability of the site.
I hope to collaborate with Ruby Visual Identity Team.


Regards,
