> What is the uid, and, given a DSObject, how am I supposed to determine it?
The DS is currently implemented on top of an information retrieval (IR) system called Xapian [1]. Xapian basically divides the world up into Databases [2], Documents, terms, postings, and a few other details. Since Databases are stateful and since Documents can be unwieldy, the Database interface manipulates and refers to Documents via opaque handles called 'docid's. For reasons that are opaque to me, the DS names these docids 'uids'.

Yet, anyway. :) Michael _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
