I don't have time (and not that much skill either), but can blog your

I've just got a couple of questions though ...

So what, then, are relevant class models you are thinking of?

Might there be a way to design them in such a way that someone could
later use a Django-native model instead (for those that don't want to
install RefDB)?

BTW, awhile back I started working on a collection of little Django
apps to manage my own academic content. The "document" app model code
is here:

I went with a much lighter-weight alternative though, so gave up working on it.
