I think we are at an intesting point for MR. Sure one option is to decide that ASP.NET MVC is good enough to make further investment in Monorail lack value. However I do recgonize that I don't contribute but just use Monorail, so it's perhaps a little unfair of me to ask you to commit time if you feel that MVC is now a solved problem and time would be better spent elsewhere. Yet at the same time other projects such as FubuMVC spring up because of percieved weaknesses with MVC. The question for me would be could Monorail like FubuMVC and take a more opiononated path. If the goal is no longer simply to be the default MVC framework for .NET developers, then surely the goal becomes to be an alternative framework for .NET developers that makes different choices. You might have more freedom about the choices you make if you no longer decide to appeal to all MVC framework users, but instead those dissatisfied with ASP.NET MVC. In other words what is your unique selling point? I think it is a shame that that new ideas from FubuMVC did not just play back into Monorail giving the community more focus. Perhaps the two projects should think about combining in some way? I also think it is inevitable that all the frameworks will compete. That may not be unhealthy if it results in better software.
