I have defined a number of functions in the kittystore interface which could go into the IMessageStore: https://github.com/pypingou/kittystore/blob/master/kittystore/__init__.py Main difference compare to what is in the IMessageStore at the moment is that I require the fq list name as first argument of each function (ie: I have one table for each list and need to know where you would like me to search) > * How would you want to expose the IMessageStore interface into the > REST API? > My sense is that you could probably take a fairly straightforward > translation of IMessageStore into REST and *that* would be what you'd > build the various archiver UIs on top of.

Archiver could then use either the implementation of the interface or REST. > * Should threading information be part of the IMessageStore, or a > separate interface?

Keeping some info about threading in the database, the KittyStore interface allows to retrieve for example all the messages of a thread or the length of a thread. I can work on merging KittyStore and IMessageStore and providing the REST interface for it. Should I provide also an implementation ? Using PostgreSQL as backend ?
