Got it. And what about Seaside for example?  Few years back, we used to have
a Seaside + GlorpDBX + SqueakDBX example that we used for the university
thesis. However, I guess it is quite outdated and note sure if it works. But
maybe we should do that. I think it is a good idea.

In addition, we can use the same example for the PBE chapter.

Finally, I remember an ESUG project which idea was a open source application
based in pharo, seaside, glorp, etc, to use as an example/learning. I don't
remember the name right now....but it would be awesome if that app could be
changed to use GlorpDBX + SqueakDBX instead :)

thanks
