Hi Shane!

Do you know that there already is a project for OR-Mapping in Zope (actually
there are two ...)?

"Ours" is SmartObjects
(http://demo.iuveno-net.de/iuveno/Products/SmartObjects). Also see the
mailing list archive at
http://imail.iuveno-net.de/pipermail/smartobjects/.

The other is TransWarp, which has a slightly different focus, but Phillip
Eby is also on our list, so we won't duplicate efforts.

Cheers

Joachim
