It is a two-head environment:

• the "pre-prod" (staging) environment is http://staging.ruby-lang.org
• the production server is http://www.ruby-lang.org

The staging environment is protected by htaccess (ruby / vit-core) to prevent any indexing. It runs on the same hardware (same bay) than the production one.

Deploying ruby-lang.org is achieved by any editorial team's member, using a mina task which publishes the master branch :

mina deploy            # deploys to staging…
mina deploy:production # makes it live!
