Sounds great. Looking forward to larger examples.

Framework as in "borges will by then be a better/more mature framework for this"
or as in "I will have written a framework like phpbb2 in borges"?

Anyway, please share as soon as you have something to show. I need
to set up a community site and am contemplating wether to use phpbb2
or do something myself with webrick + amrita or borges.

Despite the plethora of web app frameworks out there I think
there is an opportunity for Ruby here. Most of what is out
there is overly complex. I kind of like what you can do
with plone (plone.org) but since its based on zope I find it
counterintuitive in several areas and not easy to extend.

ruby + borges + madeleine

could be a killer here! Samizdat might also be important
although its hard to know until there are some example
sites using it.

Regards and thanks for your efforts,
