Matt-
Chris and I did some work today on refactoring merb to be more
testable. We will be doing some more work tomorrow. You should hop on
irc.freenode.net in #merb and discuss stuff with us in there. Its
failry active for bouncing around ideas.
If you wanted to work on model,controller and view generators I
think that would be great. Hopefully we will nail down the test
interfaces tomorrow and we can go from there.
Cheers-
-Ezra
