Ooh - I left Glasgow (where I *wasn't* working in Computing Science!) about
3 years ago now, and it had been going on for at least 3 years before that.
The person I knew who used to make it all sound like it mattered (he used to
work with the same company I work for) is/was Peter Dickman, and his
homepage at http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~pd/ may be a sensible starting point
(and the PJama homepage from the other end, of course).

Unfortunately, all I need is *another* thing to learn about on my backburner
(but, damn, it just got added - time to do some reading I guess...)

Right - if I can get damned IE to do it, I'll print that off and add it to
the other couple of ZODB/etc papers I'd found to take home.

(the signature? well, it's related to the reason I started the mxTextTools
metalanguage thingy, which then relates to why I might be interested in
ZODB, and Zope, and also to a biliography I never finished, and ...)
