I like the new download button.  But the download page itself seems a 
little bare.  Suppose I am totally new to Ruby ... I see how to get 
source, and some windows binaries (and what's the difference between the 
windows binaries and the windows installer ... I think *I* know, but I'm 
pretty sure a newbie wouldn't).  I think some description of the 
differences and then a pointer to installation instructions would be 
helpful.   Also, there was a recent discussion of the best way to 
install on OSX (source, darwinports, etc).  Some pointers for that might 
be nice.

But, hey, guys!  Outstanding work on the site.  I can't wait until it is 
ready to go live.
