Honestly, if I wanted to attract users to a PHP project, I wouldn't make the entire "about" section (also the only text above-the-fold for me) solely about Ruby.

He's just explaining the concept & linage, seems fair enough to me. I don't understand the tone of this.

Thanks for the feedback. You're absolutely right.

The project kind of goes against the spirit of PHP—most people don't write network servers in PHP. ;-)

Is it too much?

It's fine; there's nothing wrong with referencing something that's been successful elsewhere (Rack, etc.) and wanting to bring that to the PHP community.

There's several PHP micro-frameworks that reference Sinatra. It's okay.

I would put that About info at the bottom of the page. It tells me nothing I want to know, and only confused me as to what the project was about.
