Hello Aur:

About 6 weeks ago, when I started looking at Ruby, I went to Google and 
typed "ruby programming".  The first hit was the 
http://www.ruby-lang.org/ page and I clicking on it.  So, I'd suggest 
placing something on that page.

On that page there is a "Get Started, itÃÔ easy!" section on the top 
right.  I'd suggest putting a "Get Help", "Get Help from a RubyMentor" 
or something like that in that section.

I didn't trip over the other Ruby sites and books like Pickaxe until 
many hours or days later because I was busy looking at all the stuff on 
the ruby-lang.org page.
