ensure your audience knows which you mean :) Noted! This sounds like an interesting and potentially very popular project. > Awesome!

Check this out: [image: Screenshot from 2019-03-14 19-50-03.png] Is there a reason why your project could not remain a 3rd party library? > This would allow it to develop and release at a pace independently of > Django's release cadence. > Originally, this idea is a library which supplements or add new features to Django in order to ease the development. This category already includes tools such as South and Django Debug Toolbar, as stated in Django's GSoC page. <https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SummerOfCode2019> As such, this project *could* remain a 3rd party library. Right? Alternatively (and free-thinking-ly), one "variant" of this proposal would be to make some sort of database blockchain-enabled backend. So, today you have postgres, mysql, sqlite and oracle backends. With this project, there would be a fifth one: custom blockchain backend. You could store your data seamlessly, through your models, using this backend. The schedule would be very different, though. Also, it's probably better not to make a backend out of it, but a model meta option instead. As of now, I prefer the original idea. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
