Thanks a bunch!  You know, I thought I couldn't possibly be so dense as to 
miss that link, so I poked around at Ruby Garden and the Ruby home page and 
sure enough, I didn't see it linked anywhere around there.  Maybe someone 
ought to put ruby-doc.org up on those pages, or make it more prominent?  
Ruby-doc seems, to me, like one of (if not THE) the most fundamental sources 
of information for Rubyists (advocacy and engine development aside).
