That's all right, it was just funny to see you came out with the same idea
:) We actually spent some time investigating various concepts and the one
we chose seemed to have least drawbacks: the database remains "clean"
-
xpath, document retrieval etc - these are all transparent, which was out
goal.
Are you still planning to contribute this code? It sounds like it would be a really good starting place.
Nonetheless, I would love to see a standard API for versioning and
metadata, and it seems many other people seem to crave for it, not only me.
It may be quite easy to walk around the problem, but since the project is
open source, it should perhaps be taken into account what the actual users
need, not only what is the 'ideal path', which Xindice should follow ;)
Just my remark, nothing personal.
That's what we're trying to figure out. I don't actually use Xindice for anything, so I rely on the real users to tell us what we need. Now, I'm definitely hearing that metadata is an important issue, even more then I already thought. This is what I need to hear, and I'm listening.
