Hi List and especially Dave, I just happened to remember a discussion on the mailing list, that you (Dave) are thinking and maybe even working on Ferret becoming kind of an object database that fully circumvents the SQL-Store on occasions where this might be appropriate (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/82086#142613).
I'm using ferret quite heavily at the moment for a private project of mine and would love to put away the sql store for my document management approach. Storing huge amounts of data in the SQL-Layer as well as in the ferret-index simply doesn't feel right (not to talk of staying dry). So I wonder if you are making any progress on this and maybe even encourage you to put out a call for donations on this specific issue. Unfortunately I won't be able to donate much myself but I'm pretty sure that there is demand for something like this especially in my knowledge domain, the knowledge management of documents in the context of legal documents (jurisdiction, laws, legal science). Thanks for Ferret!!! Cheers, Jan Prill -- Jan Prill Rechtsanwalt Grünebergstraße 38 22763 Hamburg Tel +49 (0)40 41265809 Fax +49 (0)40 380178-73022 Mobil +49 (0)171 3516667 http://www.inviado.de
