Hi, all

I just made a simple ruby script that reads the RI yaml file from the  
local drive and generate the dictionary content which you can use via  
Apple Dictionary Application. What's more important is that I put it up  
on my GitHub repository. You can find it here \<a  
href="[http://github.com/crossbreeze/apple\_dic\_generator\_from\_ri/tree/master](http://github.com/crossbreeze/apple_dic_generator_from_ri/tree/master)"\>[http://github.com/crossbreeze/apple\_dic\_generator\_from\_ri/tree/master](http://github.com/crossbreeze/apple_dic_generator_from_ri/tree/master)\</a\>

The code looks really ugly. But as I am pretty new to Ruby world, I  
figured I would learn much faster and better from other people's  
comment, advice or even contribution to the source code. If interested,  
take a look at the code and improve it.

Best,  
Jaewoong Kim
