[Chirb] Rails vs Merb

[Jonathan Tonkin]

Hi, All -- 

I hope I'm not to horribly out of date on this, I've just been forwarded an article that states that Rails 3.0 will merge with Merb.  This is to happen some time around May.

There's one thing I'd add to this. I've been working on a merb app
and, while the framework is still fairly young and there is a bit of
churn (not API churn, but they've done 4 releases in a month), the
folks in the #merb channel on freenode are very, very helpful.
