How can I contribute with http://api.rubyonrails.org/ ?

Hi everyone. I was looking for a helper definition (create_table) and I've noticed that the documentation in http://api.rubyonrails.org/ is incomplete. It's not covering the "sexy migration" options to defining the columns like "t.string :name". It's just showing "t.column :name, :string" way.

There is a note about this "sexy" way of create tables in http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/ConnectionAdapters/SchemaStatements/create_table

Actually my question is: how can I contribute with updates and changes like that in http://api.rubyonrails.org/ ?

Thank you all !!

The second example shows this:

BUT either way since that's basically just the rdoc output, contributing to the documentation is the same as contributing to Rails itself (except you're adding comments instead of code :slight_smile: )

True, but the docrails fork of rails (http://wiki.github.com/lifo/ docrails) is setup specifically for contributions to documentation (since the usual patch workflow is a bit overkill for just documentation changes).

Hi pharrington !!! Thanks for your reply :slight_smile: It's very true this is the doc that I was looking for. The unfortune is that when I look for "create_table", the link is this: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/ConnectionAdapters/SchemaStatements.html#M002191

Again, thanks a lot :slight_smile:
