There are all sorts of handy Ruby and Rails cheatsheets out there in PDF, and it would be pretty easy to (with the authors’ permissions, obviously) convert a lot of the stuff by hand.

It would be pretty sweet to take all those cheatsheet PDF files and have them consolidated in one handy place as a RadRails plugin.
