I don't see Rails3 as the future of merb, because I don't see much value in what would be Rails3, but with an 'odd' syntax. This feeling is, I think, shared by Pavel. That having been said, the last thing we want to do is make things more difficult and inconvenient for users wanting to make the transition than it has to be. Whether aiding the transition is writing docs, or writing a rails plugin which makes rails behave like merb, it's something I'd like to offer help and advice to the authors for, but don't have the time to work on myself. There are things I want to work on for merb itself, as well as all the other things which take up time.
