Recently someone posted about manuals.rubyonrails.com being down and
almost 2 days later, someone finally responded.  I find this response
truly mind boggling.  Here we have the main ruby site directly
referencing manuals.rubyonrails.com as a source of documentation and
it takes 2 days for someone to acknowledge that the site is down?  It
is now Nov 5th and I don't know if the site has been down since the
22nd, but it definitely has been down for the last 5 days.

On top of that, why is one of the mentioned manuals on the
documentation page "Upgrading to Rails 1.0"?  We've already gone to
1.2 and 2.0 isn't that far away, updates that include some fairly
substantial changes.  There's a link to "Rails Weenie" in the "by the
users" section that doesn't work, there are 2 open source repositories
listed that don't work, Hieraki and rforum, and about half the links
that do work are from 2005.

What's amazing to me is that despite the fact that many people have
acknoledged documentation, or lack thereof, as a real problem with
Rails, no one seems to be willing to do anything about it.  After a 6
month hiatus, I'm coming back to rails to find many links to posts
about rails just don't work anymore.

What's going on here?  I love ruby on rails but this kind of apathy
for something so basic is just crazy.
