The copyright (c) on the site is currently “Ruby Object Mapper 2014-2015”. This is fine for now at a small scale, but as the site grows and more people contribute, it would be good to be very clear about how the content is made available.

One of the Creative Commons family of licenses (or a specific software documentation license) might be suitable here.

A content license basically reassures contributors that their contributions are covered by fair and well defined terms and will allow us to share and repurpose the content without running into copyright issues with text sourced from multiple contributors.
