[Nitro] about Og development

would you care to tell us what is missing?

One of them would be the migrate probably.

Side note:  reminder to myself to write a 'database map' to store meta-data
about the database-situation for better startup and "diff'ing" to be able to
discover type-changes of columns.

Where are the 'walls' you hit?  Are you using polymorphic relations, STI,
self joins over throughs, overriding foreign keys?  In case you don't or
never heard of them:  You should be fine and not hitting any walls.  ;)

Yes, there are certainly quite some changes, but it's generally safe to use.
I use the dev version atm for a commercial project (well, with some bugfixes
which I will push to George when I get the time to clean them up).

In case George wasn't explicit enough:  in your main script, before requireing
Og, require the glycerin.rb script.  This sets up the needed paths.
