Have the permissions changed? 16:24 thd kados: I made an extra column version of the the simple frameworks representing various media types but I have been unable to add it to the misc directrory in HEAD 16:22 kados sure 16:22 thd kados: I have a couple of other questions 16:22 thd I will think about my suggestions from a year ago and propose something tomorrow 16:20 thd s/ than/,/ 16:20 thd subfields are defined in another 16:19 thd kados: just to be clear than the fields and current limited indicator support is defined in one table 16:18 kados :-) 16:18 kados so I'm not really the one to ask 16:18 kados and ... I'm not really a database designer :-) 16:18 kados no, just haven't thought about it much 16:18 thd kados: you hesitate? 16:16 kados possibly 16:16 kados hmmm 16:14 thd kados: would a new table for adding better support for indicators be necessarily better because it would not break any existing code? 16:11 kados yep 16:08 thd kados: are you there? 16:06 thd kados: adding a new table could not break anything 16:05 thd kados: should improved support for indicators go where indicators are treated now in the table for the field generally or should they have their own table like subfields? 16:04 kados right 16:02 thd kados: the list should obviously start with something for indicator positions similar to what is present for subfields 16:01 thd kados: given your statement about some code which breaks on reading would that not unnecessarily delay the release? 16:01 kados I know indicators is one area we could improve in 16:00 kados well, weve discussed adding columns to the framework, but I haven't seen a list yet 16:00 kados :-) 15:59 thd so you are inviting me to break head by suggesting new columns now rather than later? 15:58 thd hello kados 15:58 kados hiya thd 13:05 dewey kados is just a bit tied up 13:05 thd` kados?
