I'd like to know what plans, prospects, and/or wishes folks
have for Rails 3 documentation.  I'm assuming that YK et al
will add some of Merb's documentation goodness:

  * method headers with Real Information (TM)

  * public / plugin / private flags

However, other things may be in prospect; for example, there
was talk a while back about the possibility of using YARD as
a new foundation for Merb API docs.  Is this idea still being
considered?  Inquiring minds need to know...


I would also be interested in collecting feedback on RDoc-
based doc tools, as used by Merb, Rails, and Ruby.  In
support of this, I have created a few wiki pages:

  * http://wiki.merbivore.com/documentation

    This is a start on a documentation summary page.
    It includes the main page of the merbivore wiki
    by reference and goes on from there.

  * http://wiki.merbivore.com/documentation/rdoc

    This page summarizes information on RDoc, as applied to
    Merb, Rails, and Ruby.

  * http://wiki.merbivore.com/documentation/wish_list

    These items include bug reports, enhancement requests,
    and more.  They are gathered together here as fuel for
    discussion.  (Feel free to file them with the relevant
    sites and/or development projects. :-)


By way of full disclosure, I am considering using the Rails 3
API as a use case for Ontiki, a wiki I am developing.  So, I
need to know what folks think is bad and good about RDoc, etc.

I would be particularly interested in hearing about which RDoc-
based sites (see http://wiki.merbivore.com/documentation/rdoc)
folks like, and why.  What GUI features rock/fail, what needed
info is missing or hard to find, etc.
