Hi everyone,
thanks for your efforts to improve the site! To be honest, I don't
really like the current design, so here are some suggestions that
might help:
* I find the color scheme a bit bleak; I'd prefer something more colorful.
* Some graphics might improve the overall style.

Yup, I have to agree. The Ruby web site certainly is the best web
site for a programming language that I've come across, but it's
certainly not amazing. I like the python documentation design, but
their home page is a bit dull. Anyway, here's another variation, this

Well, they make the wannabe-designer mistake of using justified text

The overall layout, is pretty nice though. It's essentially the

I concur that the latest version with the softer colors looks a lot nicer, and
I approve of the overall design. I think that you should go back to using a
change in the foreground color rather than the background color for the links
