That page is linked from the site’s main page, and there are a number  
of broken links on it (i.e. the Ruby 1.4(!) manual and the RDP specs).

A work in progress. 🙂

The RDP specs are out-dated; I will just remove that link.

I’ll fix the 1.4 stuff, though I wonder how many people use it.

Thanks for the heads up,

James,

Thanks for taking on the task of updating the site.

Could you fix the main “Programming Ruby” link that’s in the Getting  
Started section? I think that’s a really common link for people to  
follow. Some kind of routing error ensues.

Also - not sure how others feel - but I would prefer a link to the  
online version of “10 things”  
([.NET Code Camp 2006 - 10 Things - Cover](http://onestepback.org/articles/10things/index.html)) or at least  
provide both links. Especially for those of us on Windows who may not  
have the built-in ability to deal with .tgz files.

Thanks again!  
Jeff

emh… while we’re at it: we have a bit of documentation (translated and  
original) in the italian ruby users’ group wiki[1].

I’m quite sure it would not be meaningful to add this stuff to  
[ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org), but maybe it would be reasonable to put up a page/section  
with links to localized documentation sites.

Just my 2 eurocents 🙂

[1][http://ruby-it.org](http://ruby-it.org) , currently a little broken due to something  
strange wrt html\_diff 😕
