Ah! You've done what I dreamed to do but never found the time/motivation to do it (since I don't use Elixir or any database stuff for work, Elixir now competes with many other activities for my free time). My ultimate goal was in fact to clean it up enough to propose it for inclusion into SQLAlchemy. > Elixir is still very useful in that way because it's much easier to > define relationships with Elixir than with pure Declarative.

Packages is no big deal. Documentation can be but most of the current Elixir documentation should apply. I can't commit any time to Elixir these days for various reasons but I could have some in the future. I'll come back to you if that is ever the case. I had also a few features in my local copy waiting for cleanup and commit but well... no time. > If nobody steps in, the code will just remain where it is now.

Just a small deception: I found no trace of any copyright or even "thanks" to the original Elixir developers on your code/modified version of Elixir. -- Gaëtan de Menten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SQLElixir" group.
