Given the chance, I'd work on the manuals site to at least update what's there. I've contributed a lot to the API docs before, but lost interest/time capacity (due to a lot of issues that been discussed and fixed).
Now, I have more time and have been looking at doing some API docs, but it seems that maybe the manual updates would be more useful. How should I go about making edits? If you're skittish about giving me access, can you at least give me the markdown/textile/wiki source or a database dump so I can edit it in its native format? --Jeremy On 11/5/07, Michael Koziarski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > What's amazing to me is that despite the fact that many people have > > acknoledged documentation, or lack thereof, as a real problem with > > Rails, no one seems to be willing to do anything about it.
