The related technologies was things that are existant in the merb stack. This would be haml, jquery, and the like. This will not cover things like sinatra, camping, etc. This may have not been the best use of words but I hope that clarifies. There is nothing wrong with the mailing list, however it solicits slow responses and conversations so answers can take days to find. This is not the mailing lists fault, its simply google groups...
