> Please explain.
When developing mmbase based applications that do not use the mmbase taglibs
an great amount of custom programming has to be done. 
40% of that code is creating simple or complext queries
40% of that code is O/O mapping (MMBase objects to struts forms or
something else)
and I think that most of this code should not be required, this can be
done in several wayss

on the O/O site
1-provide a better more flexible way to extend nodes (so the O/O
mapping is not required)
2-provide utils to perform basic O/O mapping (fill lists of obects
based on a nodelist)

on the querying site
-1more utils like org.mmbase.bridge.utils.Queries ( and show how to use then)
-2provide a taglib like format to perform queries

This all helps when de developer is doing the "real" jobs.

developer friendlyness can also be something like a doclet that helps
in creating the mmbase cloud,
why not a doclet that also defines queries used!
