Jenny,
Something to know about your search for docs.
There are some quickly evolving dos for merb in wikis, etc. But one of
the first places I look is the merb code itself, which is generally
more up to date.
For example, for merb-mailer, do this:
  gem which merb-mailer
You'll get something like:
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/merb-mailer-1.0.7.1/lib/merb-mailer.rb
Take the path and open your editor to the root of this gem:
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/merb-mailer-1.0.7.1
The source is generally easy to read and most of the README files or
other top level ruby files will contain current docs.

god luck, Jon
