To bring Nitro/Og up to speed, some dependencies need updating. The Blow project is essentially defunct -- there just wasn't enough holding that project together to make it worth while. Most of the libraries that made it up have been moved back into Facets, including htmlfilter.rb. What is not in there though is the xml/html builder lib --that code was weak, and there are better solutions out there anyway. As a replacement for that, I recommend trying Nokogiri. The project looks tight, and the developer's responsive. Also, the atom and rss stuff I was working on has been moved to a new project called XDK (XML Development Kit). However, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that this project too isn't really worth the code it is written in. The code itself is fine, but the utility of the project I think is questionable. XDK is basically a Ruby-based schema dsl that provides a schema-specific parser and builder for any schema one defines in it. Perhaps if there were an XML-Schema to XDK converter it be more interesting, but as it stands it seems easier to just use a generic parser and builder like Nokogiri instead. In any case, the upshot is those libs will need to be refitted. Also, and I'm not sure how much this will effect Nitro, but for Og, the Anise library needs to be used in place of the old Facets annotations.rb. Essentially the same thing, but I spun it off as a separate project. No doubt there are other dependency issues to consider, but these I know need address. I'll let you all know if I think of any more. T.

Anise should be pretty solid, it originated from Nitro/Og and has gone through a number of refinements and a couple rewrites while part of Facets. T.

Sounds good. I'll make a final decision prior to my public nitro, raw, etc release. -Chris
