hey guys. I've been puttering around for a couple of weeks now rewriting the Map and MapLayer models and some of the JSON stuff around them on a branch in my github fork, in between messing with git and servers and stuff. I think it's finally ready to go, but I'm going to hold off for a while yet since this is a largish change.
If you want to take a look, you can see my branch here: http://github.com/dwins/geonode/compare/master...issue-566 I'll be pushing this stuff onto master at the end of my day tomorrow (right around 24 hours from the time I'm sending this mail. If you have Important Things to keep in your database for whatever reason, or just would like a plain-python description of the model changes, I have put a python script that translates JSON data dumps from the old schema to the new one on gist: http://gist.github.com/491308 (it uses GEOS and GeoDjango's wrapper thereof, so you'll need GEOS and Django around to run it). -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/
