At ISRIC we’re interested to contribute </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">to the further development of that work. But would like to understand some aspects of it.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">At the moment pycsw is heavily bound to a relational database, I understand this aspect has been introduced with the flask app.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">I understand there are ambitions to refactor this aspect so the database becomes optional. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">How concrete are the plans for such a refactor, should we set up a branch where contributions can be added or organise a code sprint? Is there an RFC with some design ideas?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">On timeline, I assume the release v3 has now most priority, so major developments are not desirable. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Thank you for your thoughts...</div></div><br></div></div></body></html>
