Search Ruby Gem (rdoc) Documentation

rdoc documentation for every ruby gem

Itch scratched. Now ruby is as good as perl (for me at least). I can’t make heads or tails of a library module unless I can read the API documentation.

So I put up GemJack.com as a place to host the rdoc documentation for every ruby gem. It updates once a day based on polling the ruby gems repository.

Other features like deep search, ratings, comments, RSS feeds, and better meta-data can come later.

    I like it, and even though this is rather late in the game; is there anything I can do to help?

  2. Tony Stubblebine Says:

    Thanks Ashley. I totally need help.

    The main problem is that I don’t like having the documentation in frames because it’s hard to link to parts of the documentation. I know it can be done because the rannotate project does it. Unfortunately I couldn’t get rannotate to install (it was built on an older Rails) and ended up sticking to my initial attempt.

    I’d be happy to help, if you’re still into the project!
