I certainly don't expect to walk away from this with everything everyone wants (and nothing people don't want), but it doesn't hurt to spend a little time up-front thinking about this. Since we're going to be putting this in a database and hopefully we have a lot of data, thinking about what that data will look like now will save us and those who have to maintain this system in production a great deal of pain. It looks like that current implementation uses MongoDB, which could either be a good choice or a bad choice depending on what the data schema looks like. If it is a good choice, we need to be able to prove that since Fedora Infrastructure uses PostgreSQL for pretty much everything and they probably won't be thrilled about maintaining another database. If we opt for PostgreSQL that means we really do have to model our data (I think is a good thing to do even with something like MongoDB) so we should have a pretty solid idea of what it looks like. -- Jeremy Cline XMPP: jer...@jcline.org IRC: jcline
