Re: Askani

Hey Alvaro -
I only meant that this tool might allow non-programmers (web
designers, maybe even clients) to collaborate in the model proto-
typing. Currently must use diagramming tools that don't generate
Django code (mostly these tools want to generate the SQL directly) -
would be great to have a diagramming tool that generates the django
models.

Stick with Django/Python - there are lots of tools out there for
modelling in other languages (eg. Eclipse EMF, GEF, etc.)

One thing that does occur - you might want to look at some of the open-
source data modelling tools out there - there might be one that you
can adapt to generate django models instead of SQL models - could save
you a ton of design and UI work if you find the right one.

ciao.
