Toward ruby-lang.org renewal; trial website offered

We webmasters’ team of ruby-lang.org have reformed our official site design, so that we can provide natural contents navigation and just-in-time information about Ruby.

Now we can offer a trial for a future official site. Here we are:

http://dev.ruby-lang.org/en/

And here is Japanese site:

http://dev.ruby-lang.org/ja/

Have a go and look at it.

Our scheme is a double release with ruby 1.6.8; the switchover of the site will be in the end of this year, if no critical problems are found. If you find them, feel free to tell us via this list, or mail directly to the address below.

Cheers,

"Ruby Hacking Guide" is out though ...

RHG A book named “Ruby source code Kanzen Kaisetsu – Ruby Hacking Guide” by Aoki-san is out though it’s written in Japanese…

It’s a must-buy item for Ruby hacker, who can read Japanese. :(

I tried to translate the table of contents. Bear in mind that it’s an unofficial translation.
