I have decided to start the transition to merb now. The plan is to first clarify what zena needs from rails actually, then move all this code into modules (yes, that's another layer) and then rewrite the modules for merb. We should end up with one application that runs in both environments. Once rails 3.0 is out and stable, the modules might eventually be dropped if the performance impact of this extra layer is important. Since these modules will quite clearly identify the differences between rails/merb and then rails 3.0, some of you might be interested to follow what we will be doing.
