All,

[http://ironruby.net](http://ironruby.net) should look completely different, and that’s a good  
thing. I spent today moving stuff around, deleting, consolidating, etc.  
The site is more focused on getting and using IronRuby, but don’t fear,  
all the info related to contributing to IronRuby is now on the Github  
wiki: [http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby](http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby).

There are still a bunch of pages out of date, like the library status,  
and general project status, but those are next to update. A detailed  
list describing the status of each library will make it much more  
straight-forward to jump in and start working on one.

Let me know what you think.  
~Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

The new site looks great, truly an improvement over the old one. The  
homepage is definitely more approachable. I might suggest making it more  
clear that the Contribute link goes to github, i.e., mention it in the  
subtext. Also would be nice to have a link to the mailing list on the  
homepage. Which, by the way: is this a mailing list or a message board?  
I’m viewing it at [http://ruby-forum.com/forum/34](http://ruby-forum.com/forum/34) — is there a regular  
list this interface is reading and posting to? Might be worth clarifying  
that on the site, too.

Also, it seems like the 0.2 Alpha download is a bit broken. On calls to  
ScriptSource.Execute([some code]) I get an exception complaining about  
it being unable to find Microsoft.Scripting.dll v1.0.0.5000. The bundled  
Microsoft.Scripting.dll is 1.0.0.5001. Has anyone else had similar  
problems?

Benjamin

I changed the “Media” link to “Support”, and have links to the RubyForge  
bug/feature trackers, as well as the mailing list there.

This is a mailing list, but [http://ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com) provides a  
web-interface for all Ruby/Rails related mailing lists.
