Dear Francesco,

Your point is right. I joined the BioRuby list after seeing an impressive
Bioinformatics Server  based on Ruby-On-Rails :
http://toolkit.tuebingen.mpg.de/ MPI- Bioinformatics Toolkit. Even after
learning the basics of Ruby from the tutorials and RubyDocs am still not
in a position to start the actual ROR implementation. I strongly agree
with your point that Bioruby docs should have a version of more
readable/easy-to-use format for beginners apart from the API stuff.

I am looking forward for the BioRuby-Core-Developers inputs in this regard,

Cheers,
