Yes. The reason why we didn't use ORM is because it would have been an
overkill given how simple the database structure is.

Something along these lines; the exact functions we will decide before
development starts. We have lots of ideas for this based on the
feedback from the Debian community and we will put them together when
we are at the design phase. I can outlay them now also but then the
discussion will get vast and also, adding new functions won't be that
difficult once we have a basic interface ready.

If you are asking this so that you can work on your application, the
features you mentioned above should be sufficient to mention.

We will prefer simplicity and as such will tend to avoid JavaScript
wherever possible :) [0]
