I understand hard work (and/or money) would be needed for
restyling bioruby.org.

I think there may be some starting points.

* Edting current site gradually, accumulating small changes
* Paying money to professional web designers
* Waiting for someone to bring new website

Indeed, I don't have enough motivation about all of the above.
In my todo list, the priority is low.

Currently, only Toshiaki can update the website.
Usually I send him modified html files when releasing
new version of bioruby.

Nothing decided.
Maybe vote in this mailing list?
