Today I have launched plasmarails.org: an online RDoc for Edge Rails, which is regenerated every day. It’s based on sdoc with some custom stylesheets. As a bonus, it will – from now on – keep the doc version of every day.\nh3{clear:both}. Hints on using

• The edge docs are also available as a download at plasmarails.org/edge.tgz
• You can browse older versions by entering a URL in the following format: http://plasmarails.org/

  yyyy-mm-dd

  (plasmarails.org started at September 2009, so there are no earlier versions stored).
• Append

  .tgz

  to the date to download it.
• Some hints on navigating can be found at railsapi.com (by voloko).

The way the docs are created

Basically, I am using a cron task which basically does a

rake rails:freeze:edge

rake doc:rails

Further tweaking

I think, a documentation is a good usecase for “Prism”, available at its Mozilla homepage. It turns a website into a more desktop-like version. In the Firefox version of Prism, you do the conversion of (or the “setting a complicated link to”) a website, by navigating to the page and clicking “Tools” > “Convert Website into Application…”
