When I click on the site, I get a Site/User Administrator login screen.

Hey all,
I've been working on a redesign and rewrite of ruby-doc.org.
I've set up a beta site on a dummy domain out on the same box where
the
real site lives. The choice of bogus domain name may change (in
retrospect, www.example.com might have been better if less colorful
choice to ensure no conflicts).
To see it, add this to your hosts file:
207.44.216.66 www.beta-site.com
You can view the main page here:
http://www.beta-site.com
Just a quick ACK to say the site looks generally good and I'll make
detailed comments when I get a chance.
Thanks.
Some pre-commenting comments:
The "more ..." links for each of the topic-specific boxes on the main
page do not work. The goal is that each box dynamically renders a set
of items related to a given topic, with the "more ..." link going to a
page that gives the full list. That full list should be derived from
the some engine that drives the RSS feeds and the /navigate page.
The selection of facets and topics for which to categorize
documentation and resources is tricky, and as I've been going through
this run into various cases where I felt navigation or selection was
awkward or incomplete. On the other hand, getting this "just right"
may take more than than it is worth; I'm applying an 80/20 rule
approach here such that one should at least be able to winnow a large
list of resources down to a handful, where it becomes reasonable to
scan titles and make a selection.
A big issue, which is likely not apparent when looking at the site, is
how new items are added. I've been experimenting with different ways
to so auto-classification, again trying to find some 80/20 balance.
If you saw or heard my RubyConf2004 talk, I was using some explicit
HTML/CSS markup to embed facet/topic tagging. Over time, though, I've
found this to be too troublesome to ensure consistent use. I will
likely fall back to some modified form of keyword indexing.
