Re: Implementing "Create Topic" [was: Identical UMO titles in UU]

["Ilya A. Volynets-Evenbakh" <ilya@total-knowledge.com>]

topic_content stuff was intended for translations. This means, that 
under no conditions
should UI be concerned with IDs from that table. Instead, the way to 
deal with it will be
through topic_id+language combinations (which is, incidentally, how 
access control to
translations should work). Let's have Belkman and Sergey think through 
the whole
process in detail, and send proposal here, before trying to implement 
this again, so that
we don't have to re-do it ;-)
