What I find interesting is that Python has had such a thing for about a 
decade (the ZODB), and a mostly vaporware announcement in the Ruby world 
makes such a splash.

The future is already here folks. So, what's the status of the 
zodb.zope.org project to actually promote it better? It's easy to know 
what to write on the homepage, just go to the Ruby buzz, translate the 
hype in terms of the ZODB, tone it down some, and add that it's been 
battle-tested for a decade.

(I realize GemStone is also battle-tested, but the Ruby certainly is not)

Regards,

Martijn
