I begun working on the initialization guide back at the beginning of 2010, but I stopped as I picked up a new full-time job and Rails was undergoing a lot of changes at the time in preparation for the 3.0 release and so I was hesitant to continue on my work until Rails "stabilized" in that respect. I begun re-writing it from scratch in November-December last year and left it in its unfinished state with the intention of completing it after I'm done with the book.
The problem with it however is that there's currently *no way* to make sure that the content is accurate. Therefore, rather than working on this guide *directly*, I would rather work on some way of ensuring that the guides for Rails (not just this one) are actually technically correct by being able to generate a type of "documentation test suite" for them. Right now, I don't have the time to do this. But I think this would be a great place to start and what better guide to use (for the sheer number of examples it has) than the initialization guide?
