Understanding issue in documenation

[anpieber]

I'm not sure about this line in the documentation:

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Is there any way I can keep my old vimrc file? Do I have to merge them?

[MSch]

you have to merge them. but the supplied vimrc is rather small, so that should be easy.

The important lines are

call pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles()
source $HOME/.vim/filetypes
source $HOME/.vim/gui
source $HOME/.vim/bindings
source $HOME/.vim/editing

[anpieber]

ok got that, but in that context another thing: y is ack.vim a precondition? You've referenced it anyway ad bundle. The only pre-condition is ack-grep, isn't it?

[MSch]

True. I'll fix that.

[MSch]

Ok, I also added instructions for command-t. Do you think they are clear enough?

1. install rvm first :)
2. TBH I'm completely lost for the moment. It would be really great if you provide some general anchors in the documentation: something like:

this is a collection of plugins to "convert" vim into a ror ide...
it uses the following plugins...
after installing you can do the following (among many other things which can be found in the documentation of the corresponding plugins...)

I think you did a really great job here, but without a little bit more documentation its really hard to find out where to start :)

thank you very much for helping me!

another question about the documentation: What is rvm. Archlinux gives me this [1], but I don't think that you mean this one :)
