I was trying to get to the Capistrano manual on the rubyonrails site, but the whole manuals part of that site seems to be down. Was down yesterday when I tried, and still down today. Any body know what’s up with that? Server just need to be restarted? Anyway, meanwhile if anybody knows of a mirror for the Capistrano manual or some other good “getting started” reference for that, I’d be much obliged. thanks, jp ---

yeah, it’s a bit embarassing (for our community) that mportant sections of the main site are down so often. every other time i go to manual. or api. it’s down. ed On 12/17/06, Jeff P.

Perhaps the community should step in and help. I’d be more than willing to provide a mirror. ---

Agreed; if I had the resources/time to help I would. I would be willing to chip in to help fund a mirror, though. –Jeremy ---

How is this different than [http://www.railsmanual.org/](http://www.railsmanual.org/) ? I don’t mean to criticize, I’m just asking because I’d use it more often if there were a reason to switch. 🙂 The API really isnt the problem; there are a lot of mirrors of that. It’s just the other “stuff” that needs it. –Jeremy ---

That may be of interest to some of you. …j
