RE: Multi-user

That was the conclusion I had come to. :-)

We are using Syncato for our project server (here at the British
library) and we need multiple users so I'm going to add it. 

I guess it would make sense if I did it in a useful way for  the Syncato 
project rather than just bolting it on for my own needs. So I would just 
like to run my ideas past you all and ask a couple of questions. 

I am going to adapt some code I have for another project - 

it works by providing a base class for the servlet (main.py in closed and
open
for Syncato) - prior to calling the "respondTo..." it looks in the session
and 
at the form variables from the request and sets a session variable to 
an appropriate state ( logged & username , loggedout , error (invalid user
or password)).
The code can pull the username and state out of the session as needed. 
There will be ACL's in the config for the different types of request.

Questions:

Are FileDatabase and DBXMLDatabase completely interchangeable? 

Do the templates have access to session information as things stand? - I
guess 
they must 'cos there is config information available. 

I would like to submit all this stuff back to the project so who would I
send 
patches to (assuming its wanted) 

I am likely to be making a number of mods to Syncato over time - this is a
fairly
big project and will be running for a number of years.

cheers

Syncato does not support multi-user at this time. I've never given
it much thought myself.  It seems to me in that case we'd like to manage 
logging in within syncato itself.
