Triaging: Google's AppEngine support policy

[Marc Fargas]

Hi there,
I'm trying to clean the Unreviewed tickets list a bit (from 108 to 73
right now) and I'm now at #7008.

#7008 is about "Session backend for Google's App Engine" and before
moving it to Accepted, Design Decission or wontfix I thought it was
worth bringing this here.

Althought, right now, there don't seem to be more tickets about GAE it's
possible that tickets start appearing asking for different things from
GAE namely a database backend.

So, the question is, will Django (post-1.0) want to include this things:
* in core
* in contrib.gae (or something like that)
* no

And, if "no" then, should #7008 go away, or can it be accepted?

Regards,
Marc

My gut reaction is "no", but I could be convinced of the need for a
``contrib.gae``. Either way, though, this is certainly a post-1.0
thing; I'd market it "someday" and move on.

Being the patch author I would also postpone or even mark this ticket
as wontfix since there are better alternatives (and contrib.gae
candidates) out there. These caught my eye while googling:

http://code.google.com/p/django-gae-helpers/
http://code.google.com/p/django-gae-tools/
