Subject: [ruby-talk:15561] ANN: Facet - Ruby Web Application Framework

FACET -- RUBY WEB APPLICATION FRAMEWORK
Release Note 0.1

I am happy to announce the release of the first iteration of development 
on
Facet, a web application framework for Ruby. Facet is an Open Source 
project
licensed under LGPL and managed via Source Forge. Please note that this 
is
version 0.1 and should be considered an Alpha release. I will be making 
a second
release by the end of the week that will consist mainly of documentation 
updates.

(Please note that the usage guide is not part of the base release but is 
available
at Source Forge. This will be included in the next release.)

Details about what Facet is about and what the full one-point-oh release 
will
include is available in the README in the documentation section of 
Source Forge
as well as in the .tgz file itself.

Facet is a web application framework for the Ruby programming language 
allowing
for the rapid development of sophisticated web applications based on
Enterprise-level criteria.  Facet is loosly based on the Jakarta Struts 
project
and includes core features such as:

* Centralized processing of user requests
* XSL Based templates

Our initial iteration has been released (version 0.1) and is available 
from
Source Forge. Please read the READ ME documentation for details on what 
is and
what is not included in this release.
