OWWWWWWWWWW. Are you really trying to make a specialty out of asking me long, difficult questions that require a LOT of thought on my part? Short answer: I intend to move us to messaging-style system over the next few months. Instead of storing messages once and showing them in different ways based on who needs them, we'll have "inboxes" for each user (maybe more than one) in which copies of each appropriate message goes. I expect that those inboxes will be implemented on a cloud-style database system, like CloudDB or Hypertable, rather than on an RDBMS like MySQL or PostgreSQL. Obviously that would be optional, and people should still be able to roll out on commodity PHP/MySQL webhosting. -Evan
