Hi,
thanks for the different hints.
It looks as if we would finally go towards a direction of plain acs_attributes and/or the AMS system. There is a discussion in another thread:
https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message%5fid=239510
The main reason is that there are a lot of existing ("legacy") objects in our systems that would need migration. And the extension table approach from acs_objects combines relative simplicity (an extension table is easy to debug) and an upgrade path for the objects.
I had a look at Xdobry, and that's quite impressive. However, customizing such a system is going to be quite complex, compared with a plain SQL / TCL combination. Creating something like this for OpenACS will probably a big hit...
Bests, and thanks for the comments,
Frnak
