We're working on getting the OM generation template based. I
just ripped off the code from the *OMGenerator stuff to get

Leon and I have been chatting about getting something in soon.
Leon's got some excellent ideas that will be incorporated
into Torque in the near future.
I have some changes that will be pushed into CVS today.
I'm trying to add the feature of producing an HTML description
of the tables, and I'm trying to find something that will
produce a nice diagram of the relationships between tables
so someone could get a really quick view of how the database
system works for a particular app.
I really like Cameron's descriptions of the table layout,
and the accompanying diagram. Except I would like this
to be easy to do for any Turbine project. This is the
first step in creating a self descriptive project.
