I've improved the documentation for net/http and uri/*, and fixed a couple of bugs in uri/*. I've uploaded my bug fix to the bug tracker and e-mailed the maintainer of net/*. However, I've had no response to any of this.

I was thinking of attacking rss next, but I'm wondering if I'm actually achieving anything here. How do I get the attention of the people who actually put the code into the next release?

I just got permission to review and commit doco changes back to ruby at will. Go ahead and send me patches and I'll get them in asap. Requirements:

1) Patches must be made against Ruby HEAD, not 1.8. (*)
2) Patches must be made with cvs diff -du.

*) If you made your changes against 1.8 and not head, but you don't think the files have changed much since then, try checking out head and patching your own:

cd ruby_1_8
cvs diff -du > ../ruby-doco.diff
cd ../ruby_head
patch -p0 < ../ruby-doco.diff

the number of chunks that fail will be proportional to the amount of hand patching you'll have to do. Emacs ediff mode might be a good way to go if you get to that point.
