I'm working on a Ruby interface to the GOODS object database:

     http://www.garret.ru/~knizhnik/goods.html

Eventually, I'd like to refactor RubyGOODS to be a generic, 
transactional object persistence/sharing library that could use 
pluggable drivers to support various back ends such as flat files or 
relational databases.

Unfortunately, I'm working on a pretty heavy-duty contract right now and 
  it could be a little while before I finish the GOODS interface, let 
alone the generic object persistence library.

RubyGOODS can be found at:

     http://sourceforge.net/projects/ruby-goods

although I haven't put anything there yet due to being stuck behind a 
stringent firewall.
