I went to [www.rubyonrails.org](http://www.rubyonrails.org) to see what documentation is around for  
rails 2. (I want to find out more about the main improvements.) I  
see the front page has been updated to reflect rails 2, but the  
documentation page is somewhat lacking. In particular, there is a  
link to the ‘Upgrading to Rails 1’ manual. I would have thought that  
this was pretty much redundant now, and more importantly, it would be  
really helpful to have an ‘upgrading to Rails 2’ manual that picked up  
the major changes.

I know documentation is hard work, and takes valuable time, but unless  
I have missed it, there seems to be a lack of information around  
(apart from the weblog) to help upgrade and particularly to get the  
best out of the improved features.

Any chance of something being made available - or alternatively how  
about a page of links to useful resources.

Thanks  
Tonypm

useful resources and quick response. Many thanks  
I’ve ordered the peepcode book, just waiting for the download!

I was trying to find some information on the the improvements to css.  
I recall reading that it is possible to split these into smaller files  
and have them combined automatically. But I cant recall the detail.

I am also planning to use SASS (i have tried it and i am taken by  
it). Just wondering what the implications are for SASS and rails 2.

Thanks  
Tony
