Brian Lloyd wrote To me, the more hairy issue is what if Joe *does* exist in the different Zope installation, and you *do* want Joe to continue to have ownership? Currently, you must either arrange for Joe to do the import (which will give him ownership directly), or import it and use an external method to assign ownership (which is a pain). One thing we've thought of is that perhaps superuser (and only superuser) could be able to assign ownership through a web interface, which could make this sort of thing a bit easier.
Hm. How about some sort of toggle that allows an import to maintain ownership from the import file? Course, you need to specify who is _allowed_ to set that toggle, or else anyone who can import can set up any ownership that they like.
