Describe what you're trying to do

#406; I'm trying to cache enough information to build /guid/ pages to flat.

I need to cache whatever we want to display. (The actual data are stored elsewhere, this is just for the cache.)

I currently have entered usename and date, and last username and date. I run some lookups to (possibly imperfectly) translate those into agents for display on /guid/ pages.

Enteredby should never change, the costs to caching more of it would be mostly in terms of storage and long-term growth ability. (There are a finite number of things I can cache.)

I question the value of "last edited" as a single term to anyone; there's a full history available to "us" on demand, and I think any one edit can only make sense in that context.

I'm not sure why the public needs to know who entered a record, and that's basically meaningless without the full edit history anyway. (I can create a nearly-blank record, then someone else can change everything except the internal identifier.)

My inclination is to remove these data from the UI altogether, and just leave a "click for entered and edited" option for "us."

I hope this isn't controversial and can be resolved quickly and easily, but adding to AWG agenda Just In Case.
