+1, ri has worked for me once before, but rarely does, and I don't enjoy the
format anyway. I used to build docs and host them with `gem server` but now
I turn off ri and rdoc and just use rdoc.info since it has not only core
docs, but also gems.

Occasionally I use ruby-doc.org, and for Rails I use guides.rubyonrails.organd
api.rubyonrails.org
