 * I couldn’t even guess at an ETA. I think I’ve got all the tricky parts figured
   out. The interface for managing the groups and categories just took longer than
   I’d thought.
 * Some of the methods I’m using to manage categories and groups could be of benfit
   to the core wordpress system. I’m trying to get things written so they could 
   be either a plugin or a drop in hack to replace the category managment in WP.
 * I think I got some favorable responses on the dev mailing lists. [Here](http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/2006-February/004786.html)

 * If you can support an InnoDB table and transactions, your good.

 * Ok, here’s an important question … the method I’m looking at to keep track of
   the categories and groups really needs transactional tables (mysql > 4 & inno
   or bdb). It can get along without the transactions but it’s vulnerable to indexing
   errors on a bad update or insert. There are other alternatives while maintaining
   functionality but they’re kind of kludgy. What is eveyones take on such a restirction?

 * Still working on the interface. Had to re-factor to eliminate a couple table 
   joins. I just have an issue with category structure that I have to work out. 
   Work always interferes with the interesting stuff.

 * Artists were always the primary target for this project. If I wanted a multi-
   user system I probably would have just used an existing package. What kind of
   management features would you see yourself using?
