Since DW is willing to consider insane and complicated code options for the sake of niftyness... Would it be (hypothetically, at some point in the future) possible to import a comm piecemeal? As in, each person who's posted would have to import their posts under their DW name, and *eventually*, if everyone who's ever posted joins DW, the entire comm could be imported? (That's after the insanity of figuring out how to code the import of single-user's posts from communities.) I have no idea if that would be "insanely difficult and complicated code; we'll get right on it after our other 6,000 nifty but complicated projects" or -- "I follow Eris blindly in all things. That She is the Goddess of Chaos simplifies this immensely." -- Christian the Pagan _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
