Hi all,

Yesterday I put up a new proposal on the http://dev.zope.org site that
documents my vision of PersistentBlob.  The main idea is the be able to
mark blocks of strings (text or binary) content for storage in a file
system as individual files.  (Or blobs in a relation table.)

The two motivations for this are keeping a ZODB FileStorage small and
exposing blocks of string content to external processes (i.e. full-text
indexing).

Thanks for taking a look.
John
