[Locomotive-users] Documentation-enabled Bundle?

[James A Baker]

I'm new to Ruby and Rails (and Locomotive too obviously) and apologize if I've
missed something "obvious" to everyone here. I did do a quick search of this
list archive and on Google and didn't see anything particularly relevant to my
question.

Has anyone considered making a bundle (or possibly an importable Locomotive
app to download) which has all the Rails documentation generated and included?
In a perfect world, there would also be a Cmd-D action in Locomotive which
would launch the appropriate gem_server (or other solution??) and open the
proper documentation URL in your browser.

Personally, I'm just getting started with Rails, and have no idea what I'm
doing. As an added problem, I have had to revert to dial-up at my new
home-office (out in the country, out of range for DSL and cable sadly). So I
can't just use the online documentation, as I would be doing had I started
learning Rails 6-8 months ago. For me, not having Rails' documentation
available offline is a real headache.

Of course, there's almost certainly another solution available (which I'll
likely find and use in the meantime -- such as wget from api.rubyonrails.org
maybe)... but since Locomotive aims to "simplify" Rails on OS X, including a
documentation option would be a VERY welcome move toward that goal.

Thanks!

P.S. Please reply to my email address too, if you could, even if that's not
typical behavior with this group. Thanks a lot!
