ORM-REST Code Sprint - Day 1

At quarter to 5:00, the first day of the ORM REST code sprint is winding down. Mo' and I hacked from 2:00, and this is what we've got to show:

Rory finished one direction of proper xml serialization of Django models. That is, given a [list of] model instance[s], we get either a nice xml document (unlike the object name="" pk="" garbage we had before), or a concise list of objects with names and placeholder URIs, which will be changed to live urls when Mo' gets his piece working.

Mohammad synchronized with the svn, set up a django development environment, and familiarized himself with the code I had written. Following this, he began work on the reverse URL mapper. Given a model classname and a primary key value, he's pulling a live instance from the django ORM, and using it to query the Django URL dispatcher. This gives us the regular expression which will match URLs to access the specified object. Now he's got to turn the whole thing on its head! Good luck Mo! You can do it!

So, if you're keeping score, we are 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 feature point finished, out of 4. Might just make it by end of term :)
