Yes.

PTK objects are only storable in the ZODB.  The good news is we are
elaborating relational extensions to ZODB.

What would probably be best would be to make our CVS repository public.
There, you can checkout a version of our models (many of the models,
including PTK, are interrelated).  We also use an OD 'file based
repository' so it wouldn't be feasable to deliver all of the files to
you anyway, and many of the files would contain guts not pertenent to
PTK.  Not being the CVS guru, I can't give you a timeline.
