My apologies, I have yet to read Barry's SQL work so perhaps the issue of how a user is defined has been greatly enhanced over the current 2.1 model. But from earlier work I did on "adapters" I can say Ethan is right on with respect to needing per-list information on a user, rather than just a global user. Perhaps the right model is a hierarchical resolution of attributes, e.g. Does this list force an override of this attribute?, else Does the site force an override of this attribute?, else Is the attribute defined for this user for this list?, else Is the attribute defined in the user's global properties?, else Is the attribute defined for the list?, else Is the attribute defined in the site's global properties?, else attribute is undefined -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Red Hat Inc. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
