Currently in the README.md, libraries and frameworks are listed in one line. It's harder to read. It'll look better if we convert it to a bulleted list. So readability will improve.

I added myself links to the Ruby on Rails Tutorial years ago, after
meeting Michael in a RailsConf.
By then, the book was a commercial product, but had a free online
version and I thought it could be a good resource complementing the
official documentation.
Nowadays, only a few sample chapters are available for free, and I
don't consider these links to be fair with the rest of commercial
books about Rails anymore.
My spellchecker flagged this as an incorrect spelling, upon further
research it appears to be a point of contention in English. Either way
might work.
After further examination queuing is much more common in the Rails
codebase so making this change will serve to standardize the spelling.
[Code Triage](https://www.codetriage.com/) is an app I've maintained for the past 4-5 years with the intent of getting people involved in open source. It sends subscribers a random open issue for them to help "triage". For Ruby projects such as "rails/rails" you can also subscribe to documentation. For example you can get a few random documented methods, or if you want to write docs, get undocumented methods.
The initial approach was inspired by seeing the work of the small core team spending countless hours asking "what rails version was this in" and "can you give us an example app". The idea is to outsource these small interactions to a huge team of volunteers and let the core team focus on their work.
The purpose of the badge is to give more people an easier way to start contributing to Rails. Here's what it currently looks like:
[](https://www.codetriage.com/rails/rails)
The number is how many people are currently subscribed (a.k.a. "helpers") to the project on CodeTriage, the color is based off of the number of open issues in the project. You can see an example of this badge on another popular open source repo [Crystal](github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/).
> For context to non-rails core: I also maintain sprockets (though a release hasn't happened in some time, sorry), and I have commit to Rails. I'm not some rando trying to push arbitrary links to READMEs on GitHub.
The first heading in some README's are indicated using a second level
heading (`##`), which in my opinion is of incorrect structure.
Therefore, in this patch I changed the first heading to a first level
heading (`#`) in README's where this incorrect structure occurs.

The rails/rails gemnasium page (https://gemnasium.com/rails/rails) is not helping much.
It lists 0 dependencies so there is not much to track. Also our gems mostly depend
on other gems we control. There is not much point in monitoring them.
The batch was introduced with #3909.
Updating the global Rails README following work by @strzalek et al which extracted Action View to a separate gem, and also some other improvements.
Summary of changes:
* Reordered the paragraphs from View-Model-Controller to Model-Controller-View, based on how (IMHO) most people think about the structure and hierarchy of the framework and their code in it.
* Added references to ActionView's README in the _View_ paragraph
* Reworded the _Controller_ paragraph to briefly mentioned routing as handled by Action Dispatch, and that both Action Dispatch and Action Controller work together to form the request-handling Action Pack
* Removed paragraph saying Action Pack is coupled with Action View, as this is no longer the case
* Added brief references to Action Mailer and Active Support, since they are both major Rails components. Briefly mentioned in the _View_ paragraph that Action View is often used to generate the body of the email, in addition to the other typical of using to build a response body.
