[Seaside] Sql Admin & Email apps?

[David Mitchell]

Note that DabbleDB doesn't use an SQL backend. Basically every session
gets an image.

Celeste is a single user Squeak email client. You might want to look
at putting a web front-end on it.

SQL will lead to ORM which will mean GLORP. If you are OK with
Postgres, you're OK in Squeak. Otherwise look at SqueakDBX. See
discussion this week on squeak-dev.

If you aren't wed to SQL, there are image + logging (like Prevayler).
See Ramon Leon's OnSmalltalk blog.

Also take a look at Magma. A good app to review is Gjallar (issue
tracker). Magma docs are on the wiki.

> * An email app
> * all open source

> find the two apps and combine them, since it would save me so much time.

> email all from "scratch"?
> Has anyone done any work on an open source app similar to DabbleDB?
>
> Or... perhaps, there is some other way that I can build what I need?  like a
> CMS?

> Would it help if I explained the concept in more detail or if I asked this
