AirplaneMode

No Internet? No problem! Use AirplaneMode to gather documentation for offline viewing.

Don't waste people's bandwidth by mirroring with +wget+. AirplaneMode is a collection of server-friendly ways of obtaining offline documentation.

AirplaneMode is currently early in development. If you're interested, please become a watcher!

Install as a RubyGem via:

gem install airplane_mode

• Torrent for common packages
• Offline Ruby API (from http://ruby-doc.org/downloads/)
• Offline Rdocs (via +rdoc+, +yard+, +bdoc+, +gem+ +server+, or something similar)
• Maybe something from http://railsbrain.com/ ?
• Offline Rails Docs (anything beyond what the docs for the gem provides? +rake+ +rails:doc+)
• https://github.com/c42/ruby_primer
• https://github.com/addyosmani/backbone-fundamentals
• Offline Rails Guides (from +rails/railties/guides/rails_guides.rb+, or maybe just +rake+ +doc:guides+)
• https://github.com/37signals/pow/tree/gh-pages

Code (from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4506019/rails-3-guides-rubyonrails-org-in-pdf):

# sudo gem install rails
# sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev # required for RedCloth
# sudo gem install RedCloth
git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git
cd rails
git checkout origin/3-0-stable -b 3-0-stable
cd railties/guides
ruby rails_guides.rb
cd output
open index.html

• Maybe clone watched repos code (and wikis!) from GitHub
• Top 100 gems (gems, docs, etc -- so it's harder to be stuck without a dependency)
• Search (of the static HTML -- not sure of approach right now)

Any and all contributions are welcome. Fork, submit a pull request, and I'll get back to you once I've had time to review the changes. Thank you for taking time to improve AirplaneMode!
