Any chance to add it to GitHub?

Cheers,

I don't want to create a relationship from the user to the address book either, for the same reason.  Maybe I want to build an app later that needs users, but not address books.

In that framework, I would create some kind of join table like UserAddressBook.  That way I keep the dependencies separate from the frameworks... but then maintaining all the glue code becomes a tedious chore.  If I make two or three apps with address books and users, I'm duplicating this "BusinessLogic" framework logic to the point where it becomes a lot of work and parallel code bases.

This reduces the redundancy of creating glue frameworks. This has it's own pitfalls. I have to wire up relationships at startup based on whether or not some property is set. I also get none of the convenience that comes with the eogen stuff and ERXKeys for those relationships.
