[BioRuby] BioSQL development

Is there a particular person who has taken charge of the BioSQL part of
Bioruby?
I just want confirmation that I'm not using it in completely the wrong way.

Are the classes designed so that you generate models for an app (a rails
app, for example) that inherit from the Bio::SQL::whatever? eg:

$ rails g model Biodatabase name:string authority:string description:text

and then in app/model/biodatabase.rb you change:
class Biodatabase < ActiveRecord::Base
end

into:
class Biodatabase < Bio::SQL::Biodatabase # which inherits
ActiveRecord::Base
end

If I get a handle on this, I'd be happy to write it up for
http://bioruby.open-bio.org/wiki/Tutorial#BioSQL

Thanks for all the work by the dev team. Much appreciated - I use bioruby
almost every day.
