Mainly because we've all been really busy, that's certainly not a good excuse. I'm personally really busy at work, decided to spend more time with my family and also got involved in MacRuby on top of the Rails team. We'll make an effort to communication better. > > > Question:- Is Merb Core Team willing, All Merb developers should shift > to Rails 2.3.2 as soon as possible...? I'd not recommend to switch from Merb to Rails 2.3.2, Merb is very stable and used by a lot of companies such as wikimedia, adobe, EY, many of my clients and many more. You should switch to Rails3 when it will be ready tho. > > > Question:- Which great asests of Merb are coming in Rails 3.0..?

See previous answer above. Regarding migration path... Since Rails3 isn't ready, there isn't much to migrate to. Engine Yard put Yehuda and Carl to work full time on Rails and I hope they will get them to work on the migration. My guess is that it will happen since they will need this migration for themselves (solo/flex). Note that I totally understand your frustration. You got used to a bi-monthly release cycle and 1.1 still isn't out. I'm myself also a bit sad to notice that so little effort put on Rails is enriching Merb yet. However, I do believe things will change once Rails3 will be more mature and we will be able to start exchanging code. - Matt p.s: remember that Merb is a Free Open Source project and that it won't die. A new team is still free to keep on working on the framework if they see that's the way it should be. > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
