Which parts of rails do you think need more documentation/tests? Are you talking about documentation for the internals of rails as well as the exposed APIs?

From the bits and pieces I've done with ActiveRecord I've been pretty impressed with the test coverage. The docs on the inner workings are a bit non-existant, but the API docs are pretty good.

Hey folks,

I think Ryan has a good point here:

I'll follow that up by saying that besides tests, there's also a lot
of documentation work that needs done too.  Is there something we can
do to improve the situation?

What about having some kind of effort focused around writing JUST
tests and docs that reaches out to the larger community?  There are a
bit over 50 days left before RailsConf - maybe we could have a
contest or something during the leadup and then have some kind of
award presented at the conference to whoever writes the most test/
docs.  I'm not trying to make contributing into some kind of
competitive thing, just brainstorming...

If we could get a bunch of people to increase the test coverage, that
would leave us in a better position to take on doing a stabilization/
performance/clean-up release.
