I understand that emphasizing on the Low Level API makes sense, but some work on JDO/JPA would be reasonable. There is a lot of stuff that could be implemented on top of the standard APIs. Moreover, you could consider offering a custom Higher Level API, maybe something similar to the Python version. Having 10 slightly different community driven APIs is not productive. regards, -g. > > One thing we'll plan on doing is to work more closely with framework and > library implementors to make sure they have what they need to build toolkits > that better mesh with non-relational datastores.
