There is a file created in the PR for the database model - it is currently empty. The existing Issues created earlier today will involve communicating with the database, such as creating a new document for a new user/blog, for example. Regarding setting up the database, we created one yesterday. There is another Issue for connecting to that database #14 that I have assigned myself to not too long ago and am going to complete it very soon I suspect. Furthermore, there are task Issues for reset and resample the database. The resample database task can be used to define a schema.
