I think a good number of Ruby users (and prospective users) are
probably curious about where Ruby's been (brief history), where it is
(current major features), and where's it's going.

That "where it's going" item could include a little something about 1.9 and 2.0.

Maybe a quick "past, present, future" blurb could go here:
http://new.ruby-lang.org/en/about/ (where, what's currently on that
page could go into the "present" section).
