The Pragmatic Programmer's book may currently be the most complete single source
for documentation.  The Ruby Garden Wiki has a few pages concerning other books
and docs, both current and in progress:


http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?DocumentingRuby
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyBookList
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?DocumentRequest
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyBookDevelopment


There are some web sites Web sites with docs as well:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/~rubikitch/RDP-en.cgi?cmd=view;name=map
http://www.rubydoc.org/book/
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/doc.html

The Ruby Documentation Project was started to promote (among other things) the
creation of truly complete one-stop-shopping for documentation on standard Ruby
distribution.
