Topic: Cilantro: A vanilla app structure for Sinatra, complete with a daemon start/stop script.

Cilantro is a structured starter-app built on Sinatra. It comes with a daemon manager script as well (see below). Cilantro uses a basic structure similar to Rails, with controllers, models, and views folders in the app directory. A config, lib and public directories are also used, as may be familiar to you. All ruby files in the lib directory are require'd, as are all controllers and optionally, all models. A simple rendering engine is included for your convenience, but as it is very simple you are free to enhance it as you like.

Beyond this structure, it's all Sinatra. For your models, you are free to use whatever you like: DataMapper, ActiveRecord, or anything else. It's up to you. There are no walls, and this server is very fast.

Time permitting, Daniel may also do a short presentation on his time_point gem.
