 No work on integrating Storm with current programs (in the spirit of Open
 Hypermedia) has been done so far. It is not clear how far this is possible
 without changing applications substantially, if advantage of our

+some existing system with complementary features (i.e that are outside the 
focus of
+Gzz), that implements strict versioning, and modifying it (to act according to
+Xanalogical principles and) to use Storm for storage. A candidate for this

-   An idea for future work in this area is investigating potential
-   combinations of Gzz/Storm and the Object-Oriented Web publishing
-   environment Zope [ref zope.org/com, book, article?]. For example, Storm
-   might be used as a storage module for Zope (instead or combined with the
    objectbase ZODB).(?) The benefits Storm would provide there, and how e.g. 
    peer-to-peer based Zope would then work, are yet unknown for the authors. 
    (feel free to know, though :) Similarly(?) to Storm, Zope also stores
    saves as diffs to the database. (haven't looked what zodb identifiers are
-   like. what else should?). The fact that Zope is open source might allow
-   for the (even substantial) changes that 'xanalogicalising' it would mean
-   in practise. For Gzz, Zope might provide a window to the Web.
    http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/AdaptableStorage might help this?
