Just a quick update -- we're working our way through this bug on the OCT list. If someone knows the URL where the emails are archived, could you post it?
The reason for the protracted discussions is that this bug exposes limitations deep in dotLRN, in the way it manages access to "private" information. We're trying to avoid band-aids here, but I think we're converging. The coding itself will be modest -- most of the work is deciding how to model Guests in the system. Conservatively we should have this resolved in CVS by the end of the week.
