This weekend I made DRb work using YAML serialization [1] (but  
haven't released the code yet) and wrote a TupleSpace replicator [2].

I've added RDoc to Rinda (TupleSpace, RingServer and friends) so 1.8.4 
+ have it now.  I don't know if they're less than five years old  
though, but certainly they're worth a mention [3].

Nathaniel Talbott released a firewall-tunneling tool for DRb called  
DRbFire [4].
