Hi all,

this is just to notify you that we are about to implement some major intern=
al=20
changes. Productive wikis are advised to not use the SVN version within the=
=20
next couple of weeks, or otherwise be prepared to experience some=20
turbulences.

Our current changes involve a *complete* rewrite of the querying system, an=
d=20
an almost complete rewrite of the datavalue system. In effect, new features=
=20
such as support for arbitrary long string attributes and even multi-valued=
=20
attributes will become available.

The medium-term outcome will be the combination of Attributes and Relations=
=20
into Properties, thus significantly reducing usage complexity. Details on t=
he=20
design for this have been discussed earlier on these lists.

Cheers,

Markus
