Mk, you have reason, but is not applicable applicable to all.
Do you want that merb can be very popular? If your reply is yes then there is some thing that you need to remember. Rails, become very very very very very famous with 3 screencast. Why? Because unfortunately (for you) 80% of people, see something interesting... in this case Merb, then: 1) search some tutorials 2) try a sample app 3) make some production application If all is okey, submit bug, request, then read the source and finally submit pach. Read source require some time that 90% can't have... why? For spent this time first a newbie/swicher need to have some answers like: 1) Merb is good for me? (Seeing some tutorial can have part of the answers) 2) Merb have a good support? (This is the place) 3) Merb is rock solid for big project? (For this rails have basecamp example... Merb?) I think when a person have this 3 simple responses can invest their time. Otherwise we need to read all source of all interesting things like sinatra, ramaze etc... but for people that work... is not possible read all sources of all interesting things. So, merb core team want bug report, pach, community is necessary involve also newbie and do all for attract any one. This because a newbie tomorrow can be a core team.
