I don't really know what you mean here.

docrails is a branch. The Rails Documentation Team are *not* the
documenters of Rails, we are the guys that have an eye in that area of
the project, just that.

Sure, we do a lot of work on the API, but the Rails documentation
comes from patches to master. If a patch is not properly documented it
should not be accepted as if it hadn't tests.

You know docrails and master are cross merged regularly, there's no
way it can become outdated because docrails works directly against the
Rails repo.

It has its own branch to be able to offer an open policy with a little
safety net and strict rules about not touching code. With the purpose
of agilizing doc patches that should go the LH way and good luck
otherwise.

We're doing the guides as well. We commented with Pratik and Mike that
code patches should patch guides, but that is not being enforced in
practice.

As per verisioning, docrails always documents edge, both in API an
guides. If you want the docs of a release you take its snapshot
(guides are included in Rails releases). The public websites only have
stable and edge.
