mortar 0.1.2 (experimental)

An implementation independent content environment.

Mortar will be an environment that insulates the application developer from the implementation details of storage, retrieval and searching of content.

This will allow applications to be developed in one environment, say on a simple local Python+SQLite setup, and then deploy to another environment, say Google App Engine or a clustered array of Amazon EC2 instances, with no changes to application code.

This architecture should also provide a seamless environment for application developers to work with a disparate array of data sources.

A secondary aim is to allow DBAs and system administrators to optimise the performance of applications without modifying any application code.

However, for now, it is in the very early stages of development and should probably be avoided unless you simply want to see how it's shaping up or you want to actively participate in development.
