QuickRef.org : AJAX-powered site searches for documentation on Ruby,
CSS, HTML, HTML DOM, Java, JavaScript, MySQL, PHP, Perl, and more
languages added all the time. Minimize docs and they show up next time
you visit the site. Instantly access Google search for documents not in
the QuickRef system. Never open 15 tabs or windows again!

That site has some issues.
For example: Search for anything, like ‘calendar’. Then click a link.
Minimize that window. Try to hit return after calendar to bring the
results back up. It doesn’t. You have to type something else and
remove it, then hit return again.
Also, you talk about multiple windows being open… How? Every time I
click a new link, it replaces the previous window.

I get a better experience from the Ruby QuickRef[1] and ri. For

Another issue.
If you minimize several windows, bring window A up, then window B,
window A just disappears. So you have to explicitly minimize windows in
order not to lose them. Since I frequently flip between several pages,
this layout does not work for me. It takes a lot longer than just using
my firefox tabs.
Have a look at http://www.gotapi.com/. It supports the documentation of ruby-doc.org ans api.rails.org, further there is stuff about databases
(postgresql, mysql) XML, XSLT and many other things.
Hey after a couple quick tests, I think this looks pretty neat.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to store a user’s preferred languages or at
least ones not to display in a cookie perhaps. For instance, I never
am going to look up php or perl
