Edge Rails Documentation: Revisited 9
This question, “where can I find documentation for Edge Rails?” still comes up quite often on mailing lists, IRC, and other places. I just wanted to point out a few resources for you.
In March 2006, our team announced that we’d be updating a RDOC site a few times a day as the Rails project gets commits.
You can still access the PLANET ARGON Edge Rails documentation here:
Caboose also has some Edge Rails documentation here:
If you’re aware of any other online resources for Edge Rails documentation, please let me know.

I like this one for the search functionality: http://labs.parkerfox.co.uk/ruby.search/
Uses the Caboose docs for edge.
While rdoc for edge is useful, I don’t think it’s quite what people are looking for. For myself personally, I’m hoping to find something that gives a higher level view of the new things in edge.
Ryan Diagle posts pretty regularly about edge, and it’s a great resource. But the only thing that I feel is missing is a categorized index of the new stuff, like ‘here is everything related to migrations’, or ‘this is how you handle feeds’, etc.
I wish I could find Edge Rails documentation that matches the layout of the official docs at http://api.rubyonrails.org/>
I’ve gotten so used to the three vertical panes on the left that I can’t seem to navigate the standard rdoc output of the Edge docs.
I’ve always used the doc:rails rake task for edge rdoc. As Josh said a slightly higher level view of the edge stuff would be more useful. But that would most likely take time away from the core team or others from working on their usual tasks.
I mailed with Brian of http://railsbrain.com/ yesterday. I wrote me that he includes edge very soon!
Anyone know of others who regularly / semi regularly blog about edge rails?
I started going over Ryan’s “What’s New in Edge Rails” posts, and categorizing them, to have a nice overview of the improvements. I was hoping to add others’ posts, if there is anyone.
