Version support for datastore/Proposal: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Please note that this proposal isn't fully fleshed out because I decided to apply only last minute (my diploma thesis would have been within the same time frame originally, but got delayed for external reasons so I can participate now). A proper design will be the first part of the project, see the time line given below. The issues and possible solutions are well-known and the scope is sufficiently limited to ensure this project will be a success.
