Hi again everyone,

Basedex is a collaborative index to help you organize and share your  
information as well as discover what others have found.

Since we announced our release a couple weeks ago, we have been hard at  
work at creating a Ruby on Rails index[1] for people new to Ruby, and a  
Rails Developer index[2] to help developers search through  
documentation.

We would like to invite everyone to join us in developing these indexes  
to promote Ruby on Rails and provide another useful resource to those  
currently writing Rails applications.

Also, thanks to Dave T. and Pragmatic Programmers, you can now  
search the index of Agile Web D. with Rails[3] within the Rails  
Developer index.

Thanks,  
Nelson H.
