[Nitro] nothing like a deadline...
Dan North
So as usual I was talking up nitro as a replacement for rails, this time at the SPA conference earlier this year, and someone suggested I present something at the London SPA meetup.
So I agreed. And now I'm going to need a working nitro and og (and a nice walkthrough demo if someone has something like that handy).
Of course I'll attribute anything I use to the appropriate people, but I could really do with your help! Either that or I'll have to politely decline the talk.
I really want to get nitro out there in front of some people, and the BCS crowd are useful influencers to be showing things to.
So, George, about that 0.50 release..? :)
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,
According to George's blog, he has moved onto other projects.
So Nitro is in need of a new maintainer if it is to stay alive.
I have been doing some work on Og, but even so, it will take more man-
hours than I have to spare to get a new release out any time soon. And
sadly, interest has dwindled so much I'm not even sure if it is worth
it.

Hello Dan,
I am sorry to dissapoint you but I do not plan a 0.50 in the near future. I am still working on Nitro as needed for my currenrt projects (ie, the repositories still receive updates) but I do not plan to support this project.
I am workin an a new lightwieght framework (based on javascript/java) and evaluating Google AppEngine at the moment so maybe you will see new stuff from me in the future.
-g.
Thanks,
Dan

That is a real shame but I understand if you have to move on - I felt you really had a contender to take on rails there. I'm very grateful for all the effort and energy you've put into it - it's been inspiring! Naturally I'll be watching what you get up to next.
Out of interest, is there another lightweight ruby web framework you would recommend? I'm looking at ramaze, which has nitro-inspired view "elements" (http://tinyurl.com/3d7dgn) and plays nice with Og and Sequel (http://ramaze.net/features:orms). I haven't used it or ary of the others (merb, mack, etc.) but from a quick scan it seems the closest in "feel" to nitro.
Thanks again,
Dan

Ramaze is like Nitro's little sister and Merb is like Rails little
sister. IMHO you cannot go wrong with either Ramaze or Merb, it just
depends on your personal preferences and tastes.

Ruby or the Nitro documentation gets good enough that I can jump in -
I am sad to see that it might go away.
I saw a demo of Merb <http://merbivore.com/> at the Mountain West
RubyConf last month and was quite impressed. It's focused on
lightweight and flexible and well worth a look.

I'm a big fan of both Nitro and Ramaze; Ramaze does seem very much like
Nitro, with perhaps a greater range of pluggable options.
The #ramaze irc channel is very active, and a great place to get help.
Merb, too, is well worth looking at. It may come down to subtleties of
opinion as to which best suits your development style. Both have active
development and strong communities
Ramaze, however, has cooler T-shirts:

It's hard to fight that inertia, and Nitro has been in a murky state
for _well_ more than a year, now.
Want to work on IOWA? ;)

Hmm...
Are folks abandoning Og, too? I notice the Ramaze page about
ORM's shows an example using Og, but that they "suggest Sequel."

I have moved on to Sequel, and some devs on DataMapper had indicated
they have an Og 'style' in mind for somethings.
However I haven't delved into the DM source.

Yeah, we have to suggest an alternative since Og, combined with the
old facets has quite a few problems and bugs.
I would love to use Og (especially for its awesome evolution
capabilities), but there just hasn't been a stable release since a
long time, so i settled for sequel.

DataMapper is definitely Og-like, it doesn't quite feel as dynamic as
Og. I also miss the schema-evolution of Og.

I wouldn't take much to get Og up to date. I have been working on it
bit by bit. But I just can't do it alone. I need someone more familiar
with Og to help. Unfortunately no one has really stepped forward. It's
really a shame, IMHO. It's a good system, it just needs some TLC.

Still, I can help you. What exactly do you need?

I still depend heavily on Og even though I too has switched over to
Ramaze. I've was kind of hoping that Ogden would become my Og
"replacement", but that project seems even more inactive than Nitro
itself (I'm not tracking the rcs, so I actually don't know whether this
is true or not). How far of is Ogden from releasing a gem?
Anyway, I think it would be a shame if Og/Ogden disappeared. I've tried
Sequel and some other ORM:s, but they all seem very "unnatural" to use
compared to Og. I would be very happy if someone picked up the project
and made a new release.

I too see myself making use of Og over other options if it remains
available. I haven't yet found another option as functional yet simple
that works on all platforms I need.

Ok. I need to fix the uses of Paramix (that was rewritten in the
latest version of Facets) plus any other minor adjustments to bring it
up to speed with Facets 2.4.x. But then I need some help in tracking
down the cause of the remaining test failures -- I'm having a hard
time isolating them.
The only incompatibility I'm interested in at this point is making
enchantment explicit. But at this point, that can wait for a version
or two.
I'm using the Ogden repo, of course, to isolate from your old working
code. It's currently SVN, but I was thinking of getting it converted
to Git (which is much more like Darcs). Would you appreciate that?

I no longer have problems with this. you can go ahead and do it.
btw, I will push some more changes to my repo when I return to Greece
(I am in Cyprus at the moment)
