How are you connecting with Ruby to databases such as Oracle.  

I very much want to join this project.  I want to use the fastcgi
module but don't know enough about how it works with Apache 2.x or
integrates with Ruby.

Also, I had a short stint with Apple web objects but thought it was
too much code to deal with for everyday web publishing.  I think your
approach of using Ruby to revisit the EOF framework is brilliant.

Would anyone like to write a book on the subject, or if someone wants
to sling the code, I would love to produce the documentation or a
small book.  I'm a firm believer in software is only as good as its
documentation.

I strongly believe that this very element will propel Ruby past
languages like Python, which although is a great language, remains
useless for most practical development tasks.  This is a perfect
compliment to Ruby.
