Even though it’s in Google’s index the Rails manual  
([http://railsmanual.com/etc](http://railsmanual.com/etc)) is always out of action and seems to have  
been for a very long time. Anyone got any idea which site we should use  
or somewhere we can download the entire manuals?

Check [http://guides.rails.info/](http://guides.rails.info/) for now.

We’ll soon have those up at  
[manual.rubyonrails.org/guides.rubyonrails.org](http://manual.rubyonrails.org/guides.rubyonrails.org). And also add a rake  
task to generate them inside your regular rails app.
