One problem I could see with this approach is distinguishing a new record from an updated record. In Villanova's setup, at least, the nightly update consists of new and modified records. I don't think we want a ten-year-old record that had a typo fixed to show up as if it were brand new... but I'm not sure how we could easily tell the difference. - Demian |
