Of course, Apple may announce the resurrection of Objective-C EOF at
WWDC, so I'm not writing any code for now.

Well, I'm not expecting something super-simple, but have no idea (yet)
of the scope of such an implementation.  The basic idea would be to pick
up the ball that Apple dropped (Objective-C EOF).  I've been talking to
a few people around here (who may even be willing to help -- one guy has
already been writing his own lightweight persistence layer) and the idea
sounds appealing, but I'm going to need to work with the ROP stuff more
to have a feel for what needs to be done (debuggers are your friend).

I did look at cayenne-client and it seemed a bit bigger than I was
expecting, but I probably wouldn't need everything at first, just the
bare essentials to prove the concept.

Thanks!  I'll ponder some more.  :-)

Michael,

I hope I did not exaggerated the simplicity of a potential port :-)  
Here is the thread were this was discussed:

http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists/cayenne-user/2006/07/0009.html

Also another discussion that we had in the context of rop-wsdl Summer  
of Code project can be found here:

http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists/cayenne-devel/2006/07/0018.html

This may sidetrack you though, as we were pondering possible  
alternatives to the existing stack.
