Everyone wants better documentation, so let's do something about it! This is the place to gather all that energy and convert it to action.

h2. Most desired pieces of documentation

* Title (n-m page estimate): Description

h2. Willing and able documenters

* Name: Description that includes links to written material, level of experience, and desired areas to work on.

* MarcelMolinaJr: I am willing to work on any and all aspects of Rails. 

* MichaelSchubert: I am willing to work on any and all areas. See my documentation work on the "authors":http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/authors/ page.
* "Robert Simplicio":http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/Robert+Simplicio : I am willing to document any areas that need attention, as well as assist with maintenance of the site (pruning, etc.). I have done a good bit of documentation and support over at TextDrive. Here is an example of my work: "Lighttpd: The painless way":http://manuals.textdrive.com/read/book/9

h2. Willing donators

* Solomon Folks (NeoGenisys): $300.00
Clean, clear and concise documentation for installation on both Unix(Darwin)/Linux and Windows XP/2000. A simple sample application would also be good for those *new* to ruby as well as rails.

* [[Thijs]] van der Vossen ("Fingertips":http://www.fngtps.com): $500.00
'Dive into Rails', a high-level, practical guide for experienced web developers new to Rails. This guide should use real code examples (both Ruby code and SQL) to show how Rails works. Topics should include the \ActiveRecord features Aggregation, Association, Callbacks, Errors, Observer, Transactions and Validation, \ActionView templates, how and why to use helpers, Layouts, The Flash, Filters, \ActionMailer, and a solid example on how automated testing should be done. 

* Name (company): Description that includes the kind of money you're willing to pledge and what kind of documentation you're most interested in.

Can i suggest that the first pieces of documentation be modules that are part of ruby's stdlib (i.e. ERb) ?
just my two cents 

Surely that would be repeating documentation that already exists around the web and in the Pickaxe book? - Tim

No; there are large parts of core Ruby that do not have good, clear, free documentation.  - James
