[Nitro] nothing like a deadline...

[Ric Turley]

I've been lurking on this mailing list hoping I get good enough at  
Ruby or the Nitro documentation gets good enough that I can jump in -  
I am sad to see that it might go away.

I saw a demo of Merb <http://merbivore.com/> at the Mountain West  
RubyConf last month and was quite impressed. It's focused on  
lightweight and flexible and well worth a look.
