I love having DevBoi and the offline docs for Rails (especially for when  
I’m on the train and have no network), but the available docs are for  
1.1.2. I don’t actually know who is supporting the DevBoi Rails docs,  
but  
if you’re out there you should know that an update for 1.1.6 would be  
greatly appreciated by at least one person.

You could give a try to the chm documentation, more actively  
maintained by DeLynn B.:  
[http://delynnberry.com/projects/rails-chm-documentation](http://delynnberry.com/projects/rails-chm-documentation)  
(see the recent messages in this thread)  
.  
On MacOS, I read it with Chamonix, and it works fine:  
[http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28016&vid=277468](http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28016&vid=277468)

It’s a matter of taste, but I tend to prefer standalone apps - like  
Pyro for Campfire -, than browser based ones (like DevBOI).

I’m resurrecting this thread because now not only is the DevBoi  
documentation out of date (1.1.2), but so is the CHM documentation  
(1.2.1).  
Please, someone, bring back the handy offline docs!
