Michal. I appreciate your interest in the Ruby-Lang design.

I don't think now is the time to address the issues you have raised. Not
that you aren't raising valid points. There are things that I would like
to change about the design myself, but we are really working hard to get
this out the door. Please understand that the people working on the site
have already invested many, many hours into it. I've personally invested
hundreds of hours into the site (on both the design and programming).

One of the things I've learned while working on this project is that
there are often several valid ways of looking at a design. There are
people who prefer a clean simplistic design. Others prefer subtle
gradients, shinny buttons, and a fixed-width design. It's not so much a
question of right or wrong. It's a question of personal taste.

My personal goal for the Ruby site was to give it a fresh and attractive
look that was as elegant as the Ruby language is itself. In some ways
the new design has exceeded my expectations. In other ways I know it can
be better. It is a work in progress.

For the record we went through about 20 different variations on the
Ruby-Lang design, presented a selection of those to the community, and
finally decided on the current design.

Some of that was chronicled here:
