Hi,

after reading about Nitro here, I went off to look, and it sounds  
fantastic. There are some very cool looking screen casts on their web  
site:

```
http://www.nitrohq.com/

```

I’ve enthusiastically downloaded the gem, but the examples folder  
appears to be missing from it. I’m sure I’m missing something here,  
but I’ve no idea what. I’ve just done an update, but it doesn’t seem  
to have changed - I’ve version 0.29.0. Perhaps the examples have  
moved? If this is the case, it doesn’t seem to be reflected in the  
text files the gem ships with.

Cheers,  
Benjohn

spark and flare have been packaged-up separately now, and can be found  
on the Rubyforge project page [http://rubyforge.org/projects/nitro/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/nitro/)

The other examples are available at the developer’s repository

I can’t help feeling they’ve raised their barrier to entry by moving  
the examples away from the gem. Seems sensible for the larger apps  
(spark and flare), but not for the little examples that are made for  
development.
