Folks,

Is [api.rubyonrails.com](http://api.rubyonrails.com) the best source for RoR API info? Do any other  
formats exist, that are easier to navigate/search?

Thanks,  
Marcus

the all have the same info, generated via rdoc. google for ‘annotatable  
rails source code’ and check redhanded for a ‘remix’ of the rdoc  
browser.

if you want to talk about how to get docs for all the method\_missing and  
other dynamic stuff, then we’re talking… i guess maybe a methodfinder  
could walk around and look for all the places method\_missing is used  
(maybe redefine method\_missing first so it populates a global list  
whnever its initialized?) i dunno. i havent gone that crazy yet…
