First off, I wasn't planning anything like a "metadata table" or
anything. Probably more along the lines of a config file, as is done for Python
logging. The "overhead" would be no worse than what we're doing now with
dabo.settings.
Right now the directory structure that dabo.quickStart() creates is a
requirement if you want to take advantage of the framework's shortcuts, such as
being able to reference your bizobjs in the self.Application.biz namespace. If
you want to store all your code in one directory, or scatter bizobjs across
several directories, or whatever, you are welcome to do so, as long as you
realize that it is now your responsibility as a developer to make it work.
