Hi: Myself was playing a bit with Cassandra (also developing a rudimentary console). As Smalltalk is already included in Thrift, is not so hard to access and use a Cassandra store. Anyway I personally largely prefer the objects databases :) But indeed these sort of DBs (as Cassandra) are being more and more populars, I think that this is mainly for its HA features. Cheers.

Taking about more future oriented stuff, I think it would be nice to have good support for document DBs (like CouchDB and MongoDB) and key/value stores (like Redis). At least for the former category of DBs, I know that a few people have been working on DB clients (see squeaksource.com) but I don't know how complete and stable they are.

Philippe this is good that you reacted. The point of esug is to support actions that will help people so probably XML-RCP is not a really good choice. Now what would be good is to have a map of current techno and their support for smalltalk. Then act to fill up the gaps.

It doesn't strike me as a forward looking investment. IMHO XML-RCP is something that will only get used less in the future, not more. The value you get from an XML-RCP implementation will become less and less as fewer services support it.
But then again ESUG is free to spend their money on what they seem fit. If they disagree or decide the current use is big enough, I have no problem at all with this.
Cheers Philippe
