Hello all, What Ruby reference is everybodies favorite? When I''ve been looking around for documentation I haven''t found any that quite compares to php.net''s and cppreference.com''s function references. I''ve been using the one found on rubycentral, but I think that it is missing quite a bit and doesn''t have very good examples. ri is fine, but can be a pain in the butt to navigate around. If there aren''t any really good ones out there would people be willing to contribute classes, methods and examples if I were to build one?

It''s patchy in places, but it''s a good aide memoire. -- Alex

There''s also the quickref in addition to the other stuff mentioned: http://www.zenspider.com/Languages/Ruby/QuickRef.html -- Eric Hodel - drbrain@segment7.net - http://blog.segment7.net This implementation is HODEL-HASH-9600 compliant http://trackmap.robotcoop.com
I''ve been using gotAPI.com recently. It''s a wrapper over the ruby-doc.org site but also has wrappers for many other technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript, and many more). Very handy.
