That is: - There is more to the form/shape of data - that is the model - than just data table definitions (e.g. there are constraints, descriptors, etc.); discussion of ways to represent this is one topic; - who is / should be dependent on (getting) and responsible for (changing, setting) the aspects of a data model is another topic. I think the most important part of what you propose to address is making interfaces for "setting" more explicitly in the controller spaces. - what constitutes presentation, and belongs there (formatting; presentation control logic; etc.) is also a separate discussion. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
