It would be some work to compile it and not as up-to-date as individual rdocs, but I would love to have a local copy that I could search with spotlight, etc. Also would love to throw it in someone's face and say 'look at all the awesome tricks that Ruby will do for you'. And to be sure to avoid duplicating those efforts on my own. Speaking of which, it's time to give props to all of you who are making these great tools that none of us will have to duplicate. There's some cool stuff coming through on those announcements, and its incredible how much of it is open source. Thanks. -Mike *meaning everything in the standard library or on rubyforge, I suppose. Or, everything that's useful.
