Hi Paul, I'm glad to see you're interested in GAE--I saw the video on your blog and thought it was great. Some thoughts in response to your questions:
1) CFDIRECTORY and CFFILE work almost exactly the same on OpenBD-GAE as they do on "regular" OpenBD (and any CFML engine). The two exceptions are: (a) you can't access files/folders outside the webroot directory; and, (b) any files that are deployed as part of your "war" are treated as read-only. I thought I had documented this on the Wiki, but it looks like I haven't gotten to it yet (yes, there's some "magic" that makes this work--it's called GaeVFS - http://code.google.com/p/gaevfs/). 2) We're almost to the point that we were planning to solicit framework authors to start working with us to get their framework running on OpenBD-GAE. Obviously, we'll give priority to frameworks that have users and authors who are interested in putting some effort into working with us to make this happen. I know there are two prominent framework authors on this list--maybe one of them will step up (Peter? Adam?). 3) We've close to having full SQL relational database support on OpenBD-GAE (again, thanks to the magic of GaeVFS, and the H2 database - http://code.google.com/p/gaevfs/wiki/H2GAE). 4) Our plans are to implement full compatibility with the CF9 ORM feature in OpenBD-GAE, so if any framework author is planning to upgrade to ORM, then OpenBD-GAE will be syntax-compatible (though I expect the performance and scalability of "ORM" on OpenBD-GAE to be vastly superior to CF9).
