Query Engine for Pier

I have been visiting Stéphane Ducasse at the University Savoie in Annecy, France.

The most interesting project built a powerful query engine for Pier working hand-in-hand with the meta descriptions available through Magritte. The tool they present is very similar to what you have in the search of Apple Finder or the way you specify smart playlists in iTunes.

Decoupling Seaside Components

A problem that is frequently discussed on the Seaside mailing-list is how to navigate and communicate between different components without increasing the coupling. The most obvious solution, direct references, tightens the coupling and hampers reuse of these components in different contexts.
