title: Anyone using ruby-protobuf and ActiveRecord
body: <p>I am using googles protocol buffers, ruby-protobuf, with rails and ActiveRecord. The protocol itself seems like a good choice, especially since we are connecting to mobile devices. Its a very compact format.</p>
  
  <p>The issues arise when having to go from proto objects to ActiveRecord objects and vice versa. Seems like there is a lot of extra work here. I would like it to work similar to the way ruby-amf works.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone see this done before?</p>
  
  <p>...or think there would be interest in starting work on a plugin for rails?</p>
