Great!. Also we are open for people who would like to help with this (I
know that no one is going to raise the hand).

> Should multiple sites have to use a different database completely?

Cof cof cof.. I forgot to add this point in the mail,  however its
already in the wiki. Maybe we can have:

$db_prefix."_blog";

So, if you maintain other blogs, you can declare the $db_prefix also as
the db username, so:

michael_blog=20

Could be a good idea.

The only difficult task is how we are going to deal with db prefixes in
our queries? I have some ideas:

1. Change all of our queries, so that all table names in our queries
will be named to: $GLOBALS["prefix"]."_tablename". This is like having a
kick in the nuts.

2. Don't change nothing in our queries, just edit our DB Drivers. Lets
look for a nice regexp (don't look at me!) that can replace all the
table names with other thing ($prefix.\\1, for example). Any geek in
regexp's around here?

3. Stole ideas from other projects, like drupal (they are using
prefixes).

Heh, yes, we need there phoo ;-). Yesterday talking with ion we decided
to rename resources to data. And do some changes in the JDD.=20

Now, we are going to have all the *.php files inside /gadgets/Blog (for
example): BlogModel.php (Model), Blog.php (Gadget), BlogWebService.php
and BlogInfo.php (Information of the gadget). And also have the
directory Resources inside the directory for images, css, and other
stuff that the model/gadget needs to run.=20

You can get a better idea if you take a look to the JDD section in the
wiki [1].

What do you mean by cache? cache for templates.. cache for xml??.. cache
and other stuff that are per user (per directory installation I mean)
will need go to 'data' directory.

I don't think its so hard to keep all gadgets in one file. You can keep
all the translations in one file I did that in C and C# long time ago,
and as you know thats not a PHP dep, its just a shell command.

The difficult task will be: How to get together one non-official gadget
translation with our big file?.

See ya,
Pablo
