database engines exist for a variety of data models - Graph,

within databases you have different record container/partition

within a database record container you have records that are
really aspects of the same thing (different keys exist in a
plethora of operational / line of business systems that expose
aspects of the same e.g.,
customer data that spans Accounts, CRM, ERP application
databases);
different field names (one database has "EMP" while another has
"Employee") for the same record

The Grok development team is very happy to release
Grok 1.1a1!
This is a preview of the 1.1 release that will be
based on the Zope ToolKit (ZTK). The ZTK will bring
a significant number of newer versions of the
libraries that Grok

is built on.
The ZTK will not only make available newer features
and bugfixes in toolkit libraries, but also a less
complex dependency structure of these libraries
encouraging more reuse. [Less]

In theory the browser could sometimes render faster by grabbing items in parallel
Mobile caches may be messed up (as larger than a cache size, like say iPhone's 256k)
What if the zip gets out of date with the other resources?
Ideally tools (and in fact even web server modules) would auto generate this stuff

In last months I'm keeping updated a branch of TinyMCE that can be very interesting for Italian users of Plone (but not only...)
