It's at http://gemmy.calicowebdev.com . I, too, see some ways to improve the availability of information and one of the things I'd like to figure out is how to get the Ruby documentation in a guess-searchable state like the online dox for many other development platforms are. What I mean by that is that it would be great to be able to look somewhere other than Google for authoritative information about Ruby. To the OP-- Great project idea. I agree with Dave Thomas about commenting. Looking at too much markup in the code reminds me of JavaDoc and PHPDoc, but more to the point, it produces too much visual noise in what is otherwise an expressive code-writing environment.
