[0:12] <jkridner|work> midnightmonster: yes.
[0:13] <jkridner|work> this allows allows me to do all my editing of fields and forms in my XML db entries, rather than in the program.
[0:13] <jkridner|work> I must still provide skins on the back-end, but I could see creating XML db entries for those too.
[0:15] <jkridner|work> of course, where I really want to head is to have all of my persistent properties, beyond those I use for indexing, to simply be stored as RDFa entries in the body property of the Page object.
[15:00] <midnightmonster> jkridner, are you talking about editing the XML db files directly? if you do that while helma is running, you'll probably have to restart the app for it to see your changes and not potentially clobber them.
[15:01] <jkridner> no.
[15:01] <jkridner> I just mean the objects, which are stored in the XML db files.
[15:02] <jkridner> so, I put my forms to create new objects in objects themselves.
[15:02] <jkridner> next step would be to make it possible to view the properties. today that requires an additional skin.
[15:03] <jkridner> I specify which skin to use in the object.
[15:03] <jkridner> somewhat like zumbrunn is doing with one of his projects, but I haven't gotten to anywhere near that level of sophistication.
[15:19] <midnightmonster> that makes sense.
