The shortcut  to the stdlib should be fine; the shortcut to core libs is 
not.

The installer sets a shortcut to
   "http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/rdoc/1.9/"

Those are RDoc pages from a now old copy of 1.9.  I believe I put them 
there because of issues at the time with folks getting RDoc/ri for 
1.8.something

Ye, I realize the ruby-doc.org homepage has that link under "core API"; 
that needs to change, though I could not right this moment tell you when 
I will get to that.

Perhaps, though, you should set the href to 
"http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/rdoc/1.8/" which does not currently exist 
but should.

On the other hand, for some sort of symmetry with the stdlib link, it 
might be better as "http://www.ruby-doc.org/corelib/"

Or something.  Suggestions welcome. (I tend to prefer URLs that follow 
some sort of convention, such that if you see one or two you can make 
reasonable guesses about others, though things don't always evolve that 
way.)
