It's in the public domain. Use it as you will!

But the only thing I like is the ruby logo! I think it'd be wrong to imitate that!

Yep, but I mean, from other well designed sites. Not necessarily from Ruby's one. What do you think about http://www.python.org/ ?

That one is better but also is inconsistent:

http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html

There's the "front page" that isn't the home page:

> http://wiki.python.org/moin/FrontPage

I find the overall navigational organization of it to be fairly confusing.

Although not a project per-se I have a pool physics demo I wanted to post up(I wrote it about 18 months ago and just found it again).

Perhaps there is some free ftp room on digitalmars.com for such things?

I totally agree with you, but for now I'll focus only on the look and feel. I think that this is currently the weaker point of digitalmars site.

I'll take some time from now on, thanks for your trust.

Look at www.dsource.com -- probably the best place for housing community developed projects.

I think dsource.org is the right place for it.
