Hey Alvaro - I only meant that this tool might allow non-programmers (web designers, maybe even clients) to collaborate in the model proto- typing. Currently must use diagramming tools that don't generate Django code (mostly these tools want to generate the SQL directly) - would be great to have a diagramming tool that generates the django models.
Stick with Django/Python - there are lots of tools out there for modelling in other languages (eg. Eclipse EMF, GEF, etc.) One thing that does occur - you might want to look at some of the open- source data modelling tools out there - there might be one that you can adapt to generate django models instead of SQL models - could save you a ton of design and UI work if you find the right one. ciao. ...Joseph On Nov 21, 5:35 am, Alvaro Mouriño <alv...@mourino.net> wrote: > 2010/11/21 Joseph (Driftwood Cove Designs) <powderfl...@gmail.com>: > > > Alvaro - > > this is a nifty idea - will save time and improve consistency. > > > Opens up model proto-typing to non-Django, non-Python, maybe even non- > > programmer?
