+h1. Adoption of Mongrel
+
+A collection of people who've adopted Mongrel as their deployment
+or development server of choice.  If you have a success story, post
+it to the "mailing list":http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users 
+telling people about it.  The site doesn't have to be public, just tell
+us how Mongrel made your life easier and what you like about it.
+

+h2. Alison Rowland
+
+"After months of tearing my hair out due to a lack of reliable Rails  
+deployment solutions, I found Mongrel. Thanks to Mongrel's simplicity  
+and stability, my hair is growing back. My Rails apps love Mongrel,  
+too, because it never lets them down."

+h2. Josh Harvey
+
+We're currently running [our site]:"http://www.rashgash.com" on a Xeon 1300 Blade 
+server. I'm not even sure exactly what that is, but the getup has been 
+running without a hitch for over a month now. The site is powered by a 
+pack of 4 Mongrels (0.3.12.4) with mongrel_cluster 0.1.1 behind Pound 
+1.8.2. Lighttpd handles the static stuff.
+
+We're only serving 1,000 pages a day at this point, and I haven't done 
+any brutal load testing, so all I can say is that the system was a cinch 
+to setup and works beautifully.
+
+h2. "Jason Wong":http://www.jasonwong.org/ ("i5labs":http://www.i5labs.com/)
+
+Jason uses Mongrel and Apache on several sites:
+
+ * "Epson Developers":http://www.epsondevelopers.com/
+ * "Helium Report":http://www.heliumreport.com/
+
+h2. Matt Pelletier ("EastMedia Group, Inc.":http://www.eastmedia.com/)
+
+Matt uses Mongrel on nearly everything including the recent 
+"VeriSign PIP Project":http://pip.verisignlabs.com/ project.
+
+h2. Ruby On Rails
+
+Dan Peterson and friends managed to convert the whole "RubyOnRails":http://www.rubyonrails.org/
+to Apache and Mongrel.
+
+h2.  Josh Goebel
+
+His "Pastie":http://pastie.caboo.se/ uses Mongrel and it's a slick little paste site
+with a nice IRC integrated bot.
+
+h2.  "MarkaBoo":http://www.markaboo.com/
+
+MarkaBoo is a social bookmarking site that started as a prototype
+and evolved into an open-source business model experiment. We are releasing the
+code under Creative Commons license on Rubyforge and are allowing the community
+to drive the features as we approach 1.0. Our only revenue stream is from
+Adsense (and sadly it will be a while before it covers expenses). MarkaBoo lets
+you treat URLs, files, and content you create uniformly. So you could bookmark
+a PDF, a website, and a snippet of code and access them all uniformly. We even
+let you bookmark via email and mobile phone.

+
+h3. Honorable Mentions
+
+* Fear of Fish says: "Fear of Fish isn't using it yet, but he will do when his current large project goes live."  He likes third person.
+* Wilson Bilkovich (Defiler) says: " Can I get on there saying that the web was a hollow lie before Mongrel was released?"  No, that quote is full of lies.
+
+h1. Actually Adopting A Mongrel
+
+If you're thinking of getting dog, consider adopting a real Mongrel
+instead.
+
+* Rescue a racing dog from "Greyhound Connection":http://www.greyhoundconnection.com/
+* Adopt a homeless buddy from "The Humane Society":http://www.hsus.org/
+* I judge people by how they treat beings weaker than themselves, and the "SPCA":http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer are good people.
