Agreed, but then I've said my piece several times on those scores. We need a requirements definition for the abstractions for storage, indexing and presentation. I've already stated my bits there. So far there's been neither argument or commentary, just a bunch of cross-purposes violent agreement between Brad and me. While I like a netnews model as it suits my needs, I really don't care what the store is so long as it solves the problems I've laid out. We need a priori key determination, a collision policy, key handoffs to an indexer (which could be NULL in Chuq's MySQL case), and an improved/adapted presentation layer. I've already said my bits there and proposed what I see as the cheap, easy, incremental improvement course: Twisted's NNTP supports for storage, Message IDs for keys, a variant best-effort detection and rewriting policy for collisions, and a MeoWWW derivative for HTML presentation/posting.
