MS SQL backend as a proper external backend (was: RFC: Django 1.0 roadmap and timeline)

2008-06-12 Thread Ramiro Morales
Jack Moffitt, mamcx (and everyone interested), I've been working in my free time for the last few days on updating the pyodbc-based MS SQL Server backend so it a) can be an external Django backend and b) to post qs-rf merge. First I tried to participate by testing django-pyodbc and opening a

+1 on trac milestones. I think it's important that people start to see what will be done when and what features will get pushed off to 1.0. Milestones, at least for me as a growing developer, have always provided that extra motivation as the progress meter approaches 100%. Just seems more

#3591: add support for custom app_label (and verbose_name?)

As proposed by mrts, I'd like to take the discussion from #3591 [1] here. A note on InstalledAppsRevision [2]: I like most of it (especially `db_prefix`) but cannot see the value of having multiple instances of the same app. Is there an example that illustrates why this is needed

I'd like to bring up trac milestones again. Currently Django has over 1000 active tickets. Some of them are relevant to oldforms-admin, some are from pre-qsrf merge, some are features for 1.1. But quite a few are small bugs that should be fixed before 1.0. Putting up milestones in trac would
