I didn’t know about those sites. It seems like good places for  
documentation. Thank you!

Speaking of these, does anyone know what happened to [outertrack.com](http://outertrack.com)?

Hey Tesla,

I do indeed run the sites after I found that I was unable to depend on  
the  
ruby/rails outertrack location.

The sites use Rannotate to generate the docs, which is an open source  
project.

The links you see on the side are Ruby/Rails organizations I run, which  
sponsor the bandwidth.

To the OP, these sites run Rannotate, a project started by Conor H…  
Nathaniel B. bought the two domain names mentioned in your post and  
hosted  
rannotate docs for ruby and rails (although at the time Conor was  
hosting  
docs at [ruby.outertrack.com](http://ruby.outertrack.com) and [rails.outertrack.com](http://rails.outertrack.com)). Nathaniel should  
really link to the rannotate project, though I think this has been  
brought up  
before.

Also, there is a typo in the subject line… The urls are:

[http://railsmanual.org](http://railsmanual.org)  
[http://rubymanual.org](http://rubymanual.org)
