[Nitro] Tutorial PDF

[Matthew B Gardner]

Using the darcs install, here are the current issues for this tutorial:

Need to install RedCloth and xml-simple.
app.adapter=:mongrel at line 6 in debug.rb causes:

INFO: Starting Mongrel server in debug mode, listening at 0.0.0.0:9000
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/facets-2.1.3/lib/core/facets/kernel/constant.rb:28:in 
`const_get': uninitialized constant Raw::MongrelAdapter (NameError)

I'm not sure if it's just my system, but creating my own version of todolist 
or using your todolist1, I get the "You have successfully installed Nitro!" 
index page. Was able to get that after I commented out the mongrel line.

The FormHelper mixin works fine now, by the way (at least in your 
todolist1) -- was that updated today?

Hopefully this helps some.
