Just FYI, I released a framework called Vintage last night that's based on the original idea of Merb: Erb templates with Mongrel (though I've expanded that concept to allow for more template renderers). No MVC, no big infrastructure: just clean, simple templating that can be used for simple or complex pages. I'm going to port it to Rack soon so you can use some deployment setups that are a little simpler than Mongrel, but if you're not scared of a little setup (proxying, Mongrel, pretty easy) then give it a spin. Source is here: http://vintage.devjavu.com/ More documentation coming soon. --Jeremy On Jan 4, 2008 2:45 AM, Softmind Technology <softmindtechnology / gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to develop a website totally in Ruby. > > But i do not want to go the MVC way.
