recently I started adding such documentation here:
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyApi

I hope many more of the common used function will find thier way to these
pages. At the moment its more a user-manual to the extension/embedding
API, than it is a reference-manual. 

I would like comments on this:  
* what should such site contain ?
* what is the most common extension/embedding functions ?
* how should it be presented to the user ?
* how much text should be written about each function ?


How can the links be improved. Example:
[/RbClassNewInstance rb_class_new_instance(argc, argv, class)]
How do I get rid of '/RbClassNewInstance', so it doesn't show up in the
link ?
