[Mageia-webteam] Maintainers db app questions

Mon Jan 24 19:07:00 CET 2011

A few questions about the maintainers db application, that are more detailed
+than the initial spec.
+
+
+   - Do we need first name, surname for maintainers or we would only be
+   using email?
+   - If we do store first name, surname are they compulsory, or can be
+   omitted?
+   - Where do we take the information from? Is there a database at the
+   moment, that we can take maintainers, packages information?
+   - If information is taken initially from another database, where is the
+   new information created? Or in other words, do we create new media,
+   maintainer, package in the app or is that created somewhere else?
+   - How do we integrate with ldap? Would that be used to lookup for
+   administration permissions for maintainers? Or would we need different users
+   as admins that are not necessarily maintainers.
+   - Would the first maintainer be the admin for a particular package?
+   - Can the admin of a package be changed later on?
+
+P.S. The link for the staging/test application is here for anyone that
+missed it first time (I'm adding it to the wiki as well):
