There is some effort, possibly more than one, to revive rubicon as a
comprehensive test suite, "proving" the assertions made in the specification
and documentation. Is there some way of tying these two together,
at least so that the spec refers to the tests?
Another thing, off topic for this I suppose, but
while dreaming do
What would it take to get Rdoc refactored in such
a way that it uses less memory? I've tried to build
ruby on old machines, and succeeded, only to have the
`gmake install-doc` run out of swap. Is this something
that someone familiar with google's summer of code could
get going, or is that too ambitious? As we add more docs
this problem will increase.
