Forum OpenACS Improvement Proposals (TIPs): Re: TIP #141: Implement true global package parameters

Don,

I didn't realize you wanted to deprecate get/set_from_package_key procs, sounds like a good idea to me. Would be nice to take advantage to make the API more consistent, i.e. renaming parameter::get to parameter::get_value :). I still think that using the same API (parameter::(get|set)_value) for both global and local parameters is the way to go.

Regarding the user interface, parameters for services can be set from the main page of the site wide admin. Since those are global, this could be the place to set global parameters for both service and application package.
