+ # The temporary solution is to have a README.rdoc without backslashes for
+ # GitHub, and gsub it to generate the main page of the API.
+ #
+ # Also, relative links in GitHub have to point to blobs, whereas in the API
+ # they need to point to files.
+ #
+ # The idea for the future is to have totally different files, since the
+ # API is no longer a generic entry point to Rails and deserves a
+ # dedicated main page specifically thought as an API entry point.
