I am back.
Just to say two things: you should read this Martin Fowler article about Ruby, RubyOnRails and enterprise applications; and second, after finishing the alfa test, I have updated the designer screenshots.

Great article.
As I start to get involved in the web-world, coming from the enterprisey one, I cannot but marvel at the sophistication level this people achieves using such simple technologies, and makes me wonder if we are not overcomplicating things.
However, I remember the shear complexity of some applications ecosystems in which my apps run nowadays, and still can't believe that this kind of “simple apps” based on a framework that does not support compound primary keys could survive a second in the enterprise world.
Do one thing and do it right is the much praised google spirit. The problem begins when we want to use a hammer to nail things that aren't nails.
As I once said, it's not clever to substitute engineering with fundamentalism.

I share completely your thoughts.
I think that new and surviving enterprise paradigms can’t be conceived as an island. They HAVE TO interoperate transparently with the established systems, including the Paleolithic ones, or they won’t be.

you got it right there. Interoperability is the thing driving tje IT industry right now, IMHO ofcourse.
The SOA hype is all about that, for example.
And in that context is where this kind of simple web systems may find a role in the enterprise world.
Provided that they can interoperate easily with the rest of the organization's systems, there is space for easily-and-quickly-developed bright-sharp-ajaxed websites.
