My early impression of the Redland Ruby bindings is that they're buggy.
I've been able to build useful (if elementary) applications, but I
encountered three fatal bugs in the first couple of days usage. Unless
I've been really unlucky, that doesn't bode well.

I submitted bug reports (and fixes) for all three, but they're as yet
unacknowledged on the Redland bug tracking system. It appears that one
fix was already applied to SVN before I submitted it, but I couldn't
find a bug report.

Interesting. I may have some questions for you on the ActiveRDF list.
