I think it would be useful to have a little quick guide for CI at least, if not perhaps even a comparison between an existing ORM or two for those familiar with the basic concept. I would think perhaps IgnitedRecord itself, and perhaps Datamapper (DMZ) would be most useful.
As it is, in a brief 5-10 minute glance...I don't get it at all. It seems at first glance to take a lot of configuration, where now I'm use to copying a template model file, doing a search-replace on two terms, and making a database table and fields to go with the model. Takes about 5 minutes for one model/table, but with RDM it seems like there is much more to do and consider.
That might be an entirely inaccurate perception, but it's what I gather from a quick glance.
