> Support for non-relational databases: Tokyo Cabinet/Tyrant, MongoDB, Cassandra, Google Bigtable (AppEngine, #10192), Amazon SimpleDB, CouchDB, etc

Is the intent to create some-kind of common framework that will work with more than one DB? Or to somehow select/prioritize one particular DB and support that?

Keep in mind: these are proposed features -- as in, proposed by anyone with enough smarts to edit a wiki page -- not necessarily ones that'll make it into 1.2.

That proposal, in particular, is a Big Honking Deal with basically no concrete proposal, specification, or working code. In other words, the chance that Django will grow non-relational database support by March is... not so good.
