It appears that 1.8.2 preview 3 has an rss/maker section, but when I 
tried to run rdoc over this code I got a SystemStackError error:


/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rdoc/code_objects.rb:328:in `find_symbol': stack 
level too deep (SystemStackError)

This is using ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i586-linux]
running rdoc from the /lib/rss directory of the preview 3 source code
