I think I found the official documentation at msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg416514(v=VS.98).aspx
but that seems pretty useless compared to the blog posts from the developers and compared to other projects such as Zend Framework and Ruby on Rails.
I found the source code at aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/58781 where they are saying "For more details about ASP.NET MVC 3, please visit http://asp.net/mvc/mvc3" so is this the official place?
So where is the official documentation? Where can I find the api guide? Where can I find the Issue tracker?
(I was only allowed to send one hyperlink in this post since I am a new user)
The official API documentation is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg416515(v=VS.98).aspx
Tutorials here: http://www.asp.net/mvc
Blogs here: http://www.google.com
Recommended book here: http://www.amazon.com/Pro-ASP-NET-MVC-3-Framework/dp/1430234040
take a look at the release notes: http://www.asp.net/learn/whitepapers/mvc3-release-notes.

Jeff Dean from pivotal labs wrote about it. I is there any official guides for that? Perhaps if there is a newer blog post that would be also useful.
Not an answer to your question, but rather an alternative :-)
You might wanna look at grape. It's a Sinatra-like framework for building REST APIs :-)
I discovered it a few days ago. It looks promising. I'm going to use it in my next project.
Can you great and knowledgable programmers please point me to some current and updated Ruby/Rails blogs/sites? I am also looking for an active forum for lively discussions on ruby/rails.
I already tried to google for them but as I already mentioned on SO, many of the links on google seem to be to sites that are no longer updated.
New website that started for rails developers: http://railsdeveloper.com/
Great blogs are: http://railstips.org/, http://railstutorial.org/
mislav created a cool tool at GoGaRuCo called explain ruby: http://explainruby.net/
screencasts: http://teachmetocode.com/screencasts/
I've found the following to be very useful:
Online forum: railsforum
IRC (instant answers): irc://irc.freenode.net/#rubyonrails
Video tutorials: railscasts
If you can't watch online videos: asciicasts
Rails Community page would be a nice start point for you.
I prefer RailsGuides and for asking questions and lively discussions I use SO (it is a great site, if you still don't use it, you should give it a try!)
For Ruby blog aggregators, there are ruby-blogs.com and rubycorner.com.
I'm wondering how to implement highlighting of changes to user edited articles on a wiki style rails project. Since articles may be fairly lengthy I'd ideally like strikethrough and highlighting, similar to github and wikipedia for example. Despite searching around the net I've not really come up with much, apart from instiki which is a complete wiki application.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
To implement in Rails, you should use the a version management gem such as vestal version. Ryan Bates did an excellent screen-cast on the subject. Once you get the versioning of articles, you will want to use the html-diff (or a similar library) to do the html output.
Does anybody know a basic plugin/gem that will allow me to quickly set up a blog in Rails.
I would like it to have a WYSIWYG editor that allows image upload and basic editing.
All the Google results I checked out were tutorials to creating a blog in Rails.
I'm not looking to roll out my own solution, I'm looking for something that was already made, like Wordpress, but for Rails.
Thanks!
Try using Mephisto
PS: Search for "rails blog engine" in Google and you will find many other hits.
Mephisto and typo used to be the mainstream, but there are many new kids on the block these days.
There doesn't appear to be any recent information about using Open ID in Ruby on Rails... the only walkthroughs that I can find do not work anymore. Does anyone know of a walkthrough or documentation that will actually work with modern versions of ruby on rails and required software?
I've been struggling with this for days and cannot make anything work.
This screencast is well done and fairly recent (july 2009):
Railscast on openid with authlogic
I found the early OpenID Railscast (68) really useful when I implemented OpenID, as well as Dan Webb's guide.
