I'd like to work with *someone*, or on my own if necessary, to develop an adapter for DB2400, a database that runs on IBM's System i hardware. Although similar to DB2, it is different enough that it needs it's own adapter (I think). There has been some work in this area but I'd like to establish something a bit more "official" if possible even though I'd guess the System i community using Ruby and Rails is pretty small.

I am new to ruby, experienced with Java, but have used activerecord-jdbc very little (since there is no adapter for the System i - aka AS/400). I saw one post about an AS/400 adapter but that was using AR-jdbc 4.0. Looks like some things have changed a bit since that release.

How would I get started? I have poked around, looking at the adapter source, but if there is a more effective way of starting a project like this I'd rather start in the right direction rather than wandering around until I found my way.

Thanks

Pete
