Ruby Association will be hosting a design contest for the new design of ruby-lang.org

ruby-lang.org has switched its platform from Radiant CMS to Jekyll in spring 2013. 

Everyone can now edit the content through GitHub. How about that? 

However, the current design is built for the typical size of a desktop or laptop but not for smartphones and tablets. 

We still need more work for the design!  

Ruby’s 20th anniversary this year seems like an appropriate occasion for a call to submit design ideas for ruby-lang.org  

Please read the instructions below and send your design entry.
