OK, I read Mr. Bad's excellent keyindex essay (kudos!) and I think I understood it.
To enable anonymous key submission to freegle, I plan to establish two sets of key indices: freegle-keys-yymmdd (for submitting keys) freegle-indices-yymmdd (for submitting names of other key indices) The yymmdd part is the current date. I want people to always use the current date (timezone doesn't really matter, but we can state that GMT's our favorite). I will then have freegle retrieve all the indices of, say, the day before yesterday through tomorrow. That way, no submissions should be lost. Maybe I'll even do it twice a day for safety. The DBR-like naming scheme is of course meant to prevent the indices from growing past a reasonable size. Since I haven't seen anyone mention a date based naming scheme for key indices, I just made up the format. Does this sound like a reasonable direction to go? -Stefan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
