Not all of it. The list is pretty helpful, sure, but the documentation _could_ stand for a lot of improvement. I find it very opaque, too, especially from a "Getting Started" perspective. There are posts and slideshows scattered all over the blogosphere, but finding them isn't straightforward. I know there's a book coming, but it ain't here yet. And the Peepcode videos are good (they're how I learned) but to watch all of the RSpec ones is over four hours. Also nearly forty bucks or an annual subscription. It's something I've been poking at a bit, though haven't had the time yet to bring things together. So I identify myself as part of the problem too. I could communicate what little _I_ know about RSpec... But I haven't yet. > Pat, Ashley, David and Aslak give quite share of their time answering > those emails, do a search and you will find out. That's not a replacement for good documentation. You have to have a certain grounding before you can even figure out where to go and what questions to ask -- and I don't feel the most visible resources for that grounding are as good as they could be. -- Have Fun, Steve Eley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ESCAPE POD - The Science Fiction Podcast Magazine http://www.escapepod.org _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
