Have you seen the changes I made to the CVS repository, although they are very rudimentary, parts of the separation into a multi-user concept are realised (more to come, feedback still very welcome). > - what is the intent of the item meta data "score"? Should be used to set up a relevance/priority this item has for a speicifc user (part of the restructuring is that the item meta data is not any longer bound to the item). > - how would you see the "read/unread" item meta data working? This field could be used to classify a news items as being read by a user (to separate them in a UI from the unread ones). > - other than convenient grouping, what semantics does ChannelGroup bring > into the library?

Should we make it part of informa or a separate > sourceforge thing? (I have no experience with sourceforge other than > this project.) We started to disucss this already off-list. IMHO the best thing would be to great an own CVS module under the informa repository. Cheers, Niko |
