Great, thanks! I'm working with Oz to clean up the documentation, so I'll make sure this updated ruby example is included.

not sure where to post feedback on the api docs, seems here?
the following is more idiomatic ruby than the example in the docs.
it's tested and works. also included are the requires for convenience.
require 'digest/md5'
require 'open-uri'
api_key = '670694205349ed6735de86557081cc0b'
secret = '85ebb64263b2ea4acc96b40853414e65'
solution_masterid = '800f18f66ac105ba42b83b781e7bfba5'
sig = Digest::MD5.hexdigest("masterid#{solution_masterid + secret}")
base_url = 'http://www.wiserearth.org/solutions/'
solution_url = "#{base_url}#{solution_masterid}?sig=#{sig}&key=#{api_key}"
solution_xml = open(solution_url).read
cheers,
