I think we're still on a very old Ruby version, hopefully this will allow us to upgrade it, or at least remove one more barrier.

I thought the plan was to port the current site over to a non-Ruby version in https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/clo/cl-site and then change that one?

It would be considerably easier for the operators to get rid of the Ruby dependency.

Indeed for me it is a higher priority to remove the Ruby dependency and be able to generate the site from Lisp than it is to have a new site.
