In case you missed the announcement on Ruby-Talk or on the Radiant  
Weblog, the new Ruby site is now live:

[http://ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org)

The Ruby site is the reason that Radiant exists. Thank you for  
supporting me in this endevour by supporting Radiant. You have helped me  
work many of the kinks out of Radiant before we put the site live.

The Ruby site is quite possibly the largest site running Radiant. It has  
about 350 pages, 9 snippets, 8 layouts, and 18 users. The site uses 9  
different plugins, many of them based on plugins created by the Radiant  
community:

- code\_highlighter \* language\_redirect\_behavior \* rd\_text\_filter
- download\_behavior \* ml\_subscribe \* search\_behavior
- export\_fix \* monkey\_patching \* top\_projects

A few of these plugins will be showing up in the plugins directory in  
the repository shortly:

[http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/trunk/plugins](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/trunk/plugins)

All in all this is a huge milestone for Radiant. Thank you for sharing  
in the life of this software project.

John, congratulations! It looks like a lot of hard work went into  
this site from quite a few people. I like the look of the website too.

Congratulations to the team and thanks to you for creating radiant in  
the first place!

Congratulations! I can’t think of a better high-traffic reference site  
for  
Radiant than [ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org).

Cheers,  
Oliver

Congrats! It looks fantastic.

Something that would be _really_ nice, for people just getting their  
feet wet with Radiant, would be a tutorial that takes the reader  
through exactly how the Ruby site was put together using Radiant –  
what plugins give you what, where the page parts are coming from, etc.

Wow! I did miss the announcement earlier. The site looks smashing and  
feels very easy on the eyes, very pleasing actually. I think there are  
going to be many happy users.

The RDoc though still appears to be old skool. Are there any plans for  
that in the works?

Thanks, after posting this message I asked google and he was nice enough  
to  
give me this link :  
[http://www.degrunt.net/articles/2006/07/23/syntax-highlighting-of-code-in-radiant-cms/](http://www.degrunt.net/articles/2006/07/23/syntax-highlighting-of-code-in-radiant-cms/)

I installed it and it works fine.
