I'm thinking about the design for a comment system for my blog, and I'd like to implement it as an APP server. Only thing is, people who are commenting don't get to see or review the existing "entries" in the incoming-comments feed. So they can POST but there's nothing they can GET. Does this break any rules? -Tim
Are the individual entries read/write and only the feed is read-protected? Maybe you need multiple feeds: a pre-moderated feed or a per-author feed, then a moderated feed. The author edits one, you edit the other. The Andrew Message System had permissions like this on mail folders, along with a set of use cases. I think the group-write/individual-read case was for submitting homework. There is a nice pre-Andrew paper on desires for an e-mail system, but I can't find it right now. I'll keep looking. wunder -- Walter Underwood Principal Software Architect, Autonomy (Ultraseek)
