I'm working with other people on a Rails project with a fairly "deep"
set of interconnected data.
This is the first time I've tried to discuss data organization with
non-database-savvy folks (they know and understand the data we're
working with but are not familiar with sql concepts or rails
associations).
It would be really helpful if I had a tool that I could use to very
easily create a graphic representation of what we have so far in terms
of tables and associations.
Anybody have a suggestion for a (hopefully free) tool for generating a
graphical representation of this sort of info? Table contents would be
good, but the primary thing is the tables and their associations graphed
in a visually meaningful way.

That's a good tool if you want to do this from the Rails classes. If
instead you want to take the DB schema as a starting point, try
SchemaSpy or Power*Architect.
