Historical Ruby documentation contributor
Ruby writer, documentation packager and tooling contributor
Gavin Sinclair contributed writing and tooling to the early Ruby documentation ecosystem. He packaged the Ruby Documentation Bundle, wrote its introduction and created software used to generate Ruby standard-library documentation hosted by Ruby-Doc.org.
About Gavin Sinclair
The Ruby Documentation Bundle records Gavin as a Ruby user from June 2002 who wanted to share practical guidance with people following a similar path into the language. He wrote Getting Started With Ruby and packaged a broad collection of learning resources for convenient access.
Gavin also wrote the generation software used by the stdlib-doc project. That work helped turn source documentation into browsable standard-library pages and is directly acknowledged in Ruby-Doc.org’s documentation credits.
