Right, I was thinking about the filesharing app that should offer this choice. >> Anyway, he should tell that >> the insert is in progress so requesters would know that it is worth waiting. > > And this notification would be trusted to the degree that the identity is > trusted.

Something like that. Forcing insert of identities once a week (or more) is a good way to know which identities are 'alive' and which are not. But that is not enough if we want it to work right out of the box. For a beginner, all identities will look recent. Maybe I should add the date of insert in the identity.xml file ? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
