Nice.

I really like the idea of using Rails at "build-time" to put together  
a static site. The layouts, for example, are so useful. But when it  
comes to "run-time" it's just static HTML so Rails is totally  
unnecessary.

So I love the way this gives you the best of both worlds by  
"publishing" a site.

My only request would be to make the templating engine pluggable.  As  
wonderful as HAML may be, I'd appreciate the option to use old-school  
ERB.  Is this on the cards?  Feel free to suggest I do it myself.

Regards,

Andy Stewart
