I agree that the new rails 3 docs need a lot of work compared to the 2.3 branch. Methods like before_filter for example, don't even appear in the api docs in the methods pane. And I'm pretty sure a lot of other methods are hidden away in dependent gems now, so they don't show up as core Rails methods anymore. I generally load up the 2.3.x docs if I need to get info on rails 3 methods cause I just can't find them anymore. Rails 3 docs are just not in a good state right now and I'm not sure how a n00b is able find anything now, so this "drive" for improvement is extremely welcome. The rails guides though are quite nice, but those only cover very specific slices.
