Arti - mechanized docs for Rails

I've been working on a mechanized documentation system,
called Arti, that harvests information from a Rails app
and presents it as a set of (Rails) web pages.

Although the system is still quite young, I think I'm
getting some useful and interesting results from it.
My first venture was an "embedded" version of Arti,
running in the context of the Cheating Hangman app.

  http://hangman.cfcl.com


I then decided to grab a substantial, well-known Rails
app (Mephisto) to try documenting.  This time, I opted
to run Arti in "remote" mode.  That is, Arti operates
as a completely separate app, accessing the "target"
app only as needed to gather information.

I am reasonably happy with the results so far.  Arti is
able to display File, RDoc, and Stats listings, as well
as a Plot for each View.  With some help, I'll be able
to generate some useful "View Linkage Summary" plots
(akin to those seen in the Cheating Hangman).

Anyway, I'd like some feedback on the current program,
as well as the aforementioned help on knowing what to
put into the View Linkage Summary plot(s).
