Thanks, Dave!

Blunt question: what's a community?

I've come across community_id here and there, and it looks like a dotLRN thing. E.g., SQL trying to access column community_id in table site_wide_index fails, because there is no such column in the data model (non-dotLRN). I'm kludging the API discrepancies by passing around 0, but it doesn't feel like the right approach.

As I recently asked in a separate thread: Does community have any meaning outside dotLRN?
If yes, how does "community" relate to the good old "subsite"?

BTW, I have two bug_tracker instances, and the hack of always assuming main site gives me the correct, distinct URLs in search results.
