An Open Cookbook for Ruby?

zby queries: "I've been using the 'Perl Cookbook' extensively for 2 years already and have found the book to be really helpful. Recently I've been learning about Ruby and I really miss that kind of resource. That gave me the idea to build that kind of knowlege base as an free project. I believe it just fits ideally, and could be run on a Slash or Scoop based system without any modifications from the beginning." It sounds like a grand idea, however are there any other such resources on the web?

Perls, Rubies, Topazes...

The place to look for the kind of input you need would be comp.lang.ruby and the various Ruby mailing lists. A comprehensive FAQ like Perl's would be really good too.

It's a pain in the butt to write documentation, Perl's lucky to have had Tom C. write vast swaths of it in his spare time. Who does Ruby have with that kind of enthusiasm?

Yep.

I thought this had already been brought up before, but I could only find a mention of this site in a comment.

http://www.rubycookbook.org [rubycookbook.org]

Not much there right now, but it should grow with time. Perhaps contributing to the work there would be better than starting a competing project.
