I have put together the Ruby on Rails Edge Manual at  
[http://railsmanual.org](http://railsmanual.org)

It is currently using the no-frames version of Rannotate, which I plan  
to  
further enhance and customize as time permits.

This manual differs from [api.rubyonrails.com](http://api.rubyonrails.com) as that it contains all the  
latest and greatest features that are in EdgeRails.

Nice job.  
My immediate comment, though, is that the content that the visitor is  
100%-definitely there to see (the manual itself) is the smallest text  
on the whole front page.  
Maybe you could make the links in the top bar bigger, and possibly  
also duplicate them in the body of the index page?

Oh, and you need POWERED BY RAILS in bold red text, as many places as  
possible. Heh.

It’d be great if the methods could be sorted by the date they were  
added to Rails, making it easy to catch up on what’s new.

–  
We develop, watch us RoR, in numbers too big to ignore.

Absolutely correct, I am actually going to change that right now to  
redirect  
to the ActiveRecord::Base as that is what rails really is at the core of  
it  
all 🙂
