For a long term project, I am selecting a python based persistency
system:

http://case.lazaridis.com/multi/wiki/Persist

At this point, Django's persistency layer seems intresting, but the
evaluation uncovered a few weaknesses, most importantly the lack of
schema evolution support:

http://case.lazaridis.com/multi/wiki/DjangoProductEvaluation

Overview of resulting simplification issues:

* Replace command "django-admin.py" by "django-admin" or "django"
* Replace command "manage.py" by "django"
* Enable sqlite3 database / filename by default
* Externalize database settings (e.g. dbdefault.py)
* Enable Admin application by default
* Create a superuser by default (e.g. user:admin / pass:django)
* Rename "startapp" to "createapp"

* Provide basic Database Evolution (e.g. add field)

Solving those Issues would allow to produce a Django-Quick-Start which
could be taken within 5 minutes (+ Installation Effort), which would
allow intrested parties to come quickly in contact with Django.

I would be intrested to creat a skeleton for the "Database Schema
Evolution" (I have implemente a very simply one for a Ruby ORM).

To do so, I would need some feedback from the developers list.

Can I rely on this?
