Dave,

When someone has a problem with rdoc, is there something that tells them
who to contact?

People often (relatively speaking) post such problems to the ruby-doc
list.  If no one there can help them then they are encouraged to post to
ruby-talk.

But as these sorts for questions come up semi-regularly, I'm putting
together a ruby-doc FAQ to help explain getting ri working.  Is there a
specific way you would prefer to be reached if someone has a problem?

Also, if anyone has discovered quirks (and solutions) when installing
the ri data files on assorted OS, please let me know (jbritt AT ruby-doc
DOT org) so I can document them in the FAQ.



Thanks,


James
