Hello,

I’ve found the Capistrano manual ([Peak Obsession](http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/)  
book/17) to be very useful in the past. However, whenever I’ve tried  
browsing it (or anything at [http://manuals.rubyonrails.com](http://manuals.rubyonrails.com)) in the  
last 4 days it has returned a 503. I’d call that more than a  
temporary outage. Does anybody know when it will be available again?  
And, does anybody know who maintains this documentation site? I’m  
happy to help if someone can point me in the right direction.

Keith

They maybe revamping the [manuals.rubyonrails.com](http://manuals.rubyonrails.com) site. Jamis is aware  
of the need for good docs and things are being done to get some decent  
docs on the net:
