I found this GitHub issue/comment really fascinating:
"Hi. I'm Jean-Denis Vauguet, one of the maintainers of ruby-lang.org (working on the French flavour).
After discussing a little bit with other active VIT members, it seems I stepped up to port ruby-lang.org to a git-based, static website generation process too. I'm using Jekyll, extended with custom tasks for generating, parsing, Sass compiling, multi-lang support… I'm also in contact with postmodern, who started its own port a few days ago (idea: merging good ideas and focus on one project). So there is kind of a "official" effort going on, despite we did not published yet (hopefully soon).
In the mean time, your port looks great :) But I do see it is not quite a "port", but an overhaul, with a different organization (links to third-party websites, for instance). I can't speak for the Ruby officials, for I'm not, but I do see this may result in a duplicated effort, and a confusing "content-hydra" (two websites with the same name, newcomers puzzled, duplicated content, etc.). So what should we do about it?"

It would be interesting to see how a major site like ruby-lang.org being managed and run through git would turn out.

- glenngillen 15y agoI've been using NestaCMS for a year or two now, kinda feel it's the best of both worlds. Low-tech enough that I can just write a markdown file in vim if need be, but the flexibility to do something dynamic if the need arises.
