Chris Nelson, the developer of Trails is a friend of mine. I was the one who
pointed out the rails demo video to Chris.

Let me point out that although Trials is "inspired" by Rails, it is not a
clone in any sense. If anything, it resembles a web based version of Naked
Objects (http://www.nakedob...).

Chris will be giving a talk on Trails at OSCON, so you can catch up with him
there <blatent ad for OSCON>.
