Subject: [ANN] RDoc Dashboard Widget

Hi everyone - sorry for the cross-post from the rails list, but since I
don't normally post here...

This is just a quick announcement to let people know that I've built a
basic RDoc Dashboard widget for Mac OS X Tiger.  It's still beta-ish,
but seems to work okay for me - and it's a convenient reference tool to
boot :)

It will read any RDoc repository (http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/ is the
default, but http://api.rubyonrails.com/ works great as well) and lets
you check your documentation without having to open a Safari/Firefox
window.

Anyways, any bug reports/criticism/comments are welcome...  you can
grab the widget from:

http://widgets.precisionis.com.au/

Known bugs from recently received feedback include some issues with
scrolling, which are being fixed.  Also on the request list is the
ability to resize the left-hand navigation pane and a method for using
and remembering the URLs of multiple RDoc repositories, so these
changes are also underway.

I'm also working on an IRB widget which should be done shortly, if
anyone's interested.

Have fun!
