Subject: Re: Ruby documentation discovery

You can always generate the documentation from the source.  Whenever I
download a rubygem, the first thing I do is:

    $ rdoc -r /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/<package_name>

That sets up the documentation for ri.  If you like the linking
functionality (html versions), you can always use a console based
browser.  Sometimes I do that too:

    $ rdoc -o ~/rdoc/<package> /path/to/source
    $ export BROWSER="/usr/bin/links2" # or whatever, might need
frames support, I'm not sure.
    $ ${BROWSER} ~/rdoc/<package>/index.html

I usually head straight for the ri, but I'm sure you could put
together a nice little system organizing the html locally (Although
you could also run the gem_server for the docs).
