The ported all the RoR magic to php, and left behind the horror that is to deploy RoR (more so in dreamhost!).
See:

We don't want to fiddle with the servers (Virtual Private means you need to be your own sysadmin/web guy) so we are seriously considering this.

If they ported the RoR philosophy, they have a winner in their hands.
Now, this akelos thing is a tiny community (bad) but it is invented by an Spanish guy (!).

I think this deserves a serious look.
