August,

I agree that a core doc team is an excellent idea. But it's
also great 
that other sites would provide this too. That would mean
that people 
could go to whatever site they find more easily(they are
n00b's after 
all ;) ) or like better. Plus content could be copied back
and forth if 
it was worthwhile and fit both styles. www.rubyonrails/docs
is the 
probably the first place people look, and pointing at an API
does look 
really bad. Maybe, starting something on that railsbeginner
domain and 
hoping to get it moved to rails/docs(/beginner ?) or linked
to from 
there would be a good way to get people interested.
Especially as this 
has been a fairly well received post. PM once you know what
you are 
doing with improving documentation. I'd like to get
involved.
