[Kyrian (List)]

Apologies for any confusion cause by posting by CC to this list, while 
emailing people directly. I was mainly responding to Fil, CC the list.

I think this is about the right way to go about things.

I were you, I would be inclined incorporate the small-ish character set 
fixes I've put into my code (or something like them, given it's as yet 
untested) into your fork of the MySQL Member Adaptor for MM2.x...

I'm "considering" pointing people from my own download location to your 
version at this point, FWIW.

Others wrote variously...

About MM2 code:

Thanks, I will poke around in "getRegularMemberKeys and 
getDigestMemberKeys" to see if I can see a sane method of integration 
happening 'in band'.

I can see where Fil is coming from a bit more having poked around his 
Trac archive, and it's probably not as much of an issue as I imagined 
where he's diverged from existing MM structure.

If I have it right, the only really significant "out of band" change is 
that he's basically just replaced the search backend for the admin pages 
to optimise fetching data on multiple list members at once, which I knew 
from the start would suck badly given the way the API worked 'in band'. 
The remainder of those changes seem to be docs, cosmetics and add-ons.

Some diff patches wouldn't go amiss though I suppose for more sane 
application of the changes, which is not so dependent on precise MM version.

About MM3 resources:

Thanks, these will be noted in my Wiki for whenever I find time to look 
at it.

And about Trac:

Thanks, err, about the same response there, either Wiki or Brain.

Last but by no means least, about beer in london:

Certainly, there are many worthy pubs in central london which would be 
ideal. Probably best worked out offlist between any interested parties, 
though. I guess the main questions are: types of beer, preferences for 
type of establishment, noise levels, music, etc?
