Yes, I would like to know if all this you have done is based on some 
implemetations which are standard within the ruby community.

I would like something like:

create object
  ...

make it persistent with XYZpersist

obj.save ...

make a gui with XYZgui

obj. ...
....


and so on.

-

something, that I could give a newcomer to ruby (which knows object 
orientation), and he could start immediatly to be productive.
