LDN - Luminis Developer Network

I am planning to develop channel framework that will allow users to pull the data from various data sources like JDBC, ODBC, WebServices, LDAP sources and many other mechanisms.

This framework would allow people to pull the data from all these databases without writing any Java code.

How many people think that this kind of mechanism will help their institution to create channels by writing just simple XML configuration files or simple properties files.

Please post your responses what features you would like to see in this kind of framework that would help me building this framework.
