I have done a great deal of work on this project, all in Visual Studio .NET in C#. I want to make it open source so that others can help add code to support other DB servers besides just MS SQL Server. I started the project with extensibility and multiple database server backends in mind.
Is there a great deal of interest in helping these classes grow and mature? I am planning on putting the source up on Novell’s sourceforge if people are willing to use/contribute.

Andrew, I am sure there will be great interest in such a project, juding from the large number of Object-Relationel Mappers. As far as I know most are proprietary. I have put some effort into finding a suitable solution but no acceptable free solutions exists (I could not find any. Please prove me wrong).
I have worked a little on something that sounds quite similar to what you are describing. I would very much like to see what you have produced so far, and if we are indeed persuing the same goal I will be willing to help with the creation of a free solution.
I'm also about start a non-profit project where I want to use an OPF. I did make a list from libraries present in http://SourceForge.net/ So far I have managed to review only Gentle.Net (Which didn't satisfy me)
So, could You please share You findings about OPF-s? You might make my life much easier :)
Also, I'm willing to share my findings about the ones You didn't evaluate...
And to any other in list: Could You plase share You knowledge about diffrent free OPF-s.
If I do not find one that satisfies me, I'm thinking to roll my own one... Or, if there is one to be satisfying, I would gladly join the team.
P.S. Note to the list adnministrator: Is there any reasons why the reply-to address is not set to the list? I usually want to reply to the list... And it is tedious to do recipient clean-up every time I make "Reply All"
