Yes, 'watchwatch' page.

It'd be great, once we get the beta site up, to see if this can be reproduced and tracked down to a specific 'this is broken' case. We can then investigate and try to figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. More than likely, it's because this feature is implemented as 'best effort'. It doesn't get everybody and it's not always accurate, so it's likely you're seeing permutations of the best effort algorithm. Likely. But never rule out 'it's just broken'. :) > Anyways, if this feature is being kept, how will it behave with the two-edged > read/trust system? Think that's addressed above: the watchwatch is all we're doing, and then we use the trusting privileges from them->you to determine what of their stuff you can see. -- Mark Smith / xb95 [email protected] _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
