Ok, found it now:

http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/7#page27

That's good. I suppose the WikiWords will become proper links later.
Only suggestion I have is for 

http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/16#page74

(Pessamistic version control), and that is the flow of the text
suggests that a couple of examples would fit nicely at the end:

  "~> 2.7.1.8" => ">= 2.7.1.8", "< 2.7.2"
  "~> 2.7.1"   => ">= 2.7.1", "< 2.8"

or something.  I find examples help clarify rules even though they
aren't always sufficient to allow the reader to deduce the rules
without explanation.

I think MetaFont used increasing precision of e as a version number.
