Ryppl is currently missing (or at least I don't see a prominent link on the home page) any way of determining the "Big Picture" status of the ryppl project itself. For example, http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html and http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/cxx0x_status.html provide "Big Picture" views of two compiler's C++0x progress.
For Ryppl, I'd like to see a table with rows for the major features, as seen by users. "Boost modularization", "Library builds", "Local regression tests", "Remote regression tests", "Test reporting", "User library installation", etc. Perhaps two columns, "Ryppl Feature" and "Status". Status might be "Nothing yet", "alpha", "beta", "ready".
KISS would certainly apply. The table needs to be very easy to understand, and very easy to maintain.
