I'm working on a short screencast to help explain how to contribute to the Ruby source code docs. The svn URLs in the guidelines are wrong:

For fixing code comments and docs in the current release, what should be pulled from svn?

I *think* it's

  svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_8_6/

As I understand it, it is best to go against trunk and, if needed, also supply a patch against ruby_1_8, not ruby_1_8_6. The branching/ tag model should be from least specific to most specific:

        trunk -> ruby_1_8 -> ruby_1_8_6
