[storm] some questions about Storm (from the perspective of Grok)

[Luciano Ramalho]

I'm very happy to see you guys talking about this, as I think Storm
fits the Grok mindset better than any other Python ORM out there.

I appreciate Gustavo's reasons for not automating table creation in
Storm. I can live very well with that as a developer and as an
instructor. As an evangelist I feel that automagic schemas make for
cool demos...

But if I had to do a Grok & Storm demo, here are two cool things I'd
like to show:

- automatic generation of model code from database introspection (like
Django does with its inspectdb command [1])

[1] http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/legacy_databases/

- megrok.thingdb: a ready-to-use schema that is flexible enough for
many applications

[2] http://demo.openlibrary.org/about/tech
[3] http://pharos.infogami.com/tdb

BTW, both ideas would be great Summer of Code projects.

Cheers,

Luciano
