Anyway, keep us posted as to what Paul has to say. I think it would be great, after reviewing WilsonORWrapper I know you have the skills. Anyway, keep us posted as to what Paul has to say.

I have reached out to him with our proposal -- I think WORM can easily have a life in the future. There's lots of features that can be added to it. In the end, if Paul pulls the plug on WORM and doesn't release the source, I will either look into migrating my wrapper to another O/R mapper, or work on a migration path to something like ActiveRecord. I never planned it this way, but the wrapper is more like ActiveRecord with some Castle services (logging and caching). Just replace WORM with NHibernate, and you'd get pretty much the same thing.

The articles, news, forums on ormapper.net are DEAD which leads me to suspect as much for WORM. Even from my perusal of various blogs ... it seems that Paul is giving indications that he sees LINQ to SQL as a viable alternative his ORM users would consider moving too. Anyways, why not do what Travis is saying??? Opensource the mapper and the wrapper framework ... fix existing bugs in WORM and add some of the castleproject AR type functionality that might be helpful (e.g. validation attributes, etc...). Heck, we can even work up a Linq to WORM implementation. I'd be down with contributing! - wayde I agree!

Over the past few weeks I've been researching alternative O/R mappers (i.e. NHibernate), though I still find myself going back to WORM. Although others have more features, WORM does 90% of what I need very well and very easily. I may do that.

Paul seems to be pretty much done updating/fixing it. Maybe you should talk to him take over the reigns and/or make it opensource... ;-) Seriously, you need to take over WORM and integrate your Wrapper framework.
