hi, guts,

I am trying to give cache-money ([http://github.com/nkallen/cache-](http://github.com/nkallen/cache-)  
money) a go.

Sadly, one the steps in its documentation is not very complete.

-------- Extract start -------------------------------

Step 2: Configure MemCached.

Place a YAML file in config/memcached.yml with contents like:

test:  
ttl: 604800  
namespace: …  
sessions: false  
debug: false  
servers: localhost:11211

development:  
…  
-------- Extract end -------------------------------

1. How do we run cache-money for the development environment?
2. Can anyone please define what the “namespace” is to be?
3. can the ttl (ie 604800) and localhost:11211 values be used for  
development, test and production environments?
4. what is “ttl”?

Has anyone had any luck getting it to work?
