Barney makes sharing data between processes easy and natural by providing a simple and easy-to-use DSL. I just released v0.16.0 to github and rubygems.org . It’s a big release, and the next one will be v1.0.0. The Guides and API documentation are linked through github, and should provide you with everything you need to know to begin using Barney. Please test, and let me know what you think!
