Hi,

I'm new to Ruby and apart from wanting to learn ruby (and rails), I
chose Ruby as a language I'll have to - mh, in lack of a better word -
analyze this semester.

Most importantly I would like to know what is the /highest/
documentation for Ruby, some kind of definition? I mean there are
several implementations (Ruby, JRuby, IronRuby, ...), where is
documented what they have to implement? Something similar to
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/j.title.doc.html

Also I would like to get some general book about ruby. It would be best
if it would include a chapter about Matz motivations and the focus of
ruby. There are sure a lot of pages in the net about that, but a citable
source would be nicer.

I hope my question fits in here, I couldn't find indication
otherwise. In case it doesn't, pointer to a better location would be
nice.

TIA, Jakob
P.S. I wasn't around in the usenet quite a while, I hope my config is
     still all right :-)
