Because Lotus Notes/Domino is not a relational backend, building a “DominoRecord” would be a little bit different.
Some of the advantage of a Domino adapter would be that you can add fields to documents dynamically and could conduct finds by views. However, a lot of the standard relationships such as belongs to and the like would not apply.
As such, building a Domino adapter would be tricky and a departure from the normal RoR ways.
Having said that, some of the existing code, such as validation, would certainly be useful.
Given that Ruby is so flexible, you could make such an adaptor very flexible. If anyone wants to help me start this, please drop me an email. I have some code (ugly code at this stage), but it is a start and might be worth making a project.
