A Content Repository Standard for Python ?

Topic

Java has a Content Repository Standard, called JCR/JSR170, that let any application play with versioned documents, and all kinds of services like indexation, etc..

The idea of this BoF is to discuss Python community interest on building such a standard in a pythonic way, and to build an implementation that could be used by all kind of Python frameworks.

If you are interested in this BoF, please add your name and ideas on this page.

Jonathan LaCour ?, Optio Software
Johnny Stovall aka Oouc I want a standard w/o learning Zope

I am ignorant of the issues but can this expand on something which everyone needs to learn like subversion?

I'm interested but don't really understand the issues. I've skimmed the JSR above, but have no exposure to the Java world at all, so I don't grasp why this is needed. We have the Zope Object Database (ZODB) and Durus, for object persistence. How is a content repository different from object persistence? Is it merely a formalization of a persistence standard, along with implementation of what Jim Fulton has proposed re Decouple Persistence, Database and Cache -JeffRush ?

At Optio, we have many products that relate to content storage, especially _versioned_ content storage, so I think we will be able to provide some insight into the problem. I am not hugely familiar with the JSR itself, but have worked on our own versioned content repository in Python that has been in use in some form for many years. - Jonathan LaCour ?
