Many of them are here, AFAIR they were Lorenzano, Polito, Peck. Even with its outdated condition, ORM hasn't changed much in the past years, so current GLORP fits most of the needs, it's proven, it's tested and it's reliable. > Where is the best place to ask about Glorp by the way? I wonder the same. The official discussion group is https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/glorp-group But it is not very active. So IMHO, for Pharo use this is the best place, and for VisualWorks its own mailing list. Regards! Esteban.
