I'm still interested in seeing what you've developed and in your ideas, 
as we've discussed off-list.
but considering the lack of replies and that a boost library submission 
requires a review manager, several reviewers, and more people 
interested, I came to the conclusion that it will probably not end up a 
boost library even if we'll finish it.
if anyone disagrees please share your first impression of the 
documentation available at 
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/persistent/libs/persistent/doc/html/index.html

Thank You
