The guides live under rubyonrails.org, are coordinated by the Rails Documentation Team, whose leader is a core team member. Guides are included in the Rails distribution.

The good news is that guides are under the umbrella of docrails. So updating them is quite easy and that's happening. It could be the case that doesn't happen, certainly, but it can be the case it does. The setup is streamlined and well-supportted to help making that possible. > This is a bit dangerous in my opinion if we want to welcome new > developers.

I personally consult the API everyday, it is very important that it is as good as possible. Complete, with good examples, uniform conventions, etc. That's why I joined docrails as soon as Pratik announced it. > I am always concerned about new adopters and trying to get their > experiences as smooth as possible.
