Ironruby core - Jan 2009 - http://ironruby.net get's a facelift

All,

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.

There are still a bunch of pages out of date, like the library status, and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.

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 ? 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 provides a web-interface for
all Ruby/Rails related mailing lists.
