[Esug-list] GSoC idea: GLORP & Magritte integration

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

I am one of the developers of SqueakDBX and GlorpDBX so...of course, I
really like the idea. Having to create the GLORP mappings in a separate
class and then create also the Magritte description  (for other purpose,
like web description) is not cool. Maybe managing all the metadata (for
different purpose lile web, validations, RDB mappings, etc) with the same
tool would be cool.

What others think ?

So, yes, I like it. Can you send me the proposal ? something like what it is
in http://gsoc2010.esug.org/ideas.html

Someone wants to be the mentor ?

Cheers

Mariano
