*Very* interesting... I'd like to read more about this and see if
anything came of it. Hmm, they chose MySQL, Python, and wxPython. I
wonder if they in fact want to build their system on top of Dabo, but
just don't know it yet. ;)

Many, many thoughts. Much laziness.

shoulders of giants with a large pot of glue and to use what has already
been written by other, (much) smarter people."

...which is basically the approach we took with Dabo, which stands on
the shoulders of Python, wxPython, ReportLab, MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Firebird, etc... I even used the "glue" analogy to describe the intent
of Dabo somewhere IIRC...
