I think there is really only one issue nobody has been able to sort out: do we want the objects to be actually stored on the filesystem or do we want to be able to mirror a ZODB? Or do we want both?
My conception of it is that objects won't be served from the filesystem, but just put in a editable serialized format for version control and tool purposes.
How useful/difficult would it be to put the SMB protocol on top of a ZEO server? As serialized formats are build, would this be useful to anyone? Another use for this that I think would be great for is schema migration. Right now with ZODB we can have custom __setstate__() methods that do schema migration, but being able to perform text processing changes with common tools would be great. Just thinking out loud...
Nobody wants to edit XML, AFAICT.
Careful, that's a religious issue in some circles. :-) I know of many people who prefer that data be stored in XML just because humans can read and change it if the need arises. (This from a guy who has actually edited ZODB XML export files. :-)
Eek. ;-)
