Merb Stack

Merb 1.0 will be available as a gem called merb-stack. This page is for planning what that will require:

• Merb Core
• Merb More
  • merb-action-args turned on by default
  • merb-assets (cleaned up and documented)
    • the bundler must work
    • we should add a JS and CSS minimizer
    • we should figure out what the best bundling strategy is
    • remove the view helper methods and move them to merb_helpers (merb-helpers?)
  • should we move merb-builder out of merb-stack?
    • I think we can, if we do include merb-haml. haml makes building xml a breeze.
  • merb-cache (benburkert is currently working on a rewrite)
    • we need to be very clear that our caching support meets all use cases
  • merb-freezer will be built into merb-core as of 0.9.6
  • merb-gen must be cleaned up and generate useful stubs, including testing tips
  • merb-haml (I think this should be bundled with merb-stack, especially given how small it is)
  • merb-jquery (at the very least, we need to add support for a Form Builder that automatically adds client-side validation to DM)
  • merb-helpers needs to be merge in from merb-plugins
    • we need to decide what, other than the helpers, that we’re going to keep
  • merb-mailer
    • are we going to try to get merb-notifier into 1.0 (antares)?
  • merb-parts
  • merb-unicode (big endeavor, maybe post-1.0)
  • merb-slices
    • this needs to work, tests run, and very well documented. This is a crowning jewel of the merb stack
  • dm-core
  • dm-more
  • extlib
