I've had a search of ruby-toolbox, and the only thing I found there was `docbox`, a Rails 2.1 app from 5 years ago! Before I break out Refinery or another general-purpose tool, I wonder if there are any projects out there that are more suited for the unique requirements of documentation, and preferably if they are available in Rails 4. I don't want to spend a bunch of time making this from scratch if there's something already out there that scratches this itch.

Yes, I am looking for the former. I was hoping for something Rails-based so I could turn loose an army of alpha/beta testers on developing and refining the documentation. Something Wiki-like, in other words, with a through-the-web editing option.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm already aware of Middleman and using it on other sites.
