<h2>Blurb</h2>
179+
180+
<blockquote>
181+
Personifi uses Rack cause we like its elegant design, speed and fast
182+
turn around time. With Rack we serve billions of requests per
183+
month. It makes our life good!

<h2>TODO</h2>
188+
189+
<p>Currently, we can need help in these things:</p>
190+
191+
<ul>
192+
<li>Please help test Thin's Rails handler.</li>
193+
<li>If you know JRuby, help write a Servlet adapter.</li>
194+
<li>If you know Sandbox, maybe something that would let Rack work with a
195+
Sandbox (I think it would be needed if frameworks stand on each
196+
other feet.)</li>
197+
<li>Figure out how to use Mongrel&#8217;s URL classifier for URLMap (IOWA has
198+
a cleaned and modularized version of it, I heard).</li>
199+
<li>Spread the word! Write cool Rack apps!</li>
200+
</ul>
