Shugo,

We are nearing completion of the English content. If all goes well it 
looks like we may be ready to launch next week.

Two questions:

1. Is the Japanese content ready to go?

2. How do you feel about the stability the Apache 2 + mod_fastcgi 
situation right now? A few of months ago when I was trying to get the 
site running a couple of people expressed concern that we were running 
Apache 2 with mod_fastcgi. Scanning through the fcgi_crash.log it looks 
like we are having regular problems with fcgi processes terminating 
unexpectedly (see /var/www/new.ruby-lang.org/log/fcgi_crash.log). I'm no 
Rails deployment expert, but I wonder if we might do better with Mongrel 
and mod_proxy_balancer. This seems to be the direction that the Rails 
community is gravitating toward. There's a nice article about it here:

Thoughts?
