I've signed up to cwiki as "nhope" to formalise some of my thoughts etc as Ersin wisely suggested. Are there more steps required for me to get write access to the relevant areas (the 1.1 dev area)?
From Alex's previous posts is sounds like some of the points that
occur to me in the VD space are striking some chords, and I'm the first to admit that this case is in many ways separate from the primary "persistent schema" case (and that there are details of the internals of the design for this case which I only follow in a broad-brush sort of manner). I'll spend some time collecting my thoughts regarding schema support and considering some solutions to some meaty problems I have previously glossed over in the interests of an immediate commercial solution to date. I'll try to document the VD related content in this thread in a more organised fashion (although I doubt it will be as schmick as the documentation already on cwiki). Whilst the two usecases are certainly sufficient for the VD stuff to be considered a sub-project, the trick IMO is going to be in ensuring that there is enough flexibility in the core to support the VD usecase as well as the primary persistent schema / replication one (even if it takes the form of discrete plug-ins etc). Thanks everyone.
