What about *email?

yeah, I'd say there should be a *email card (will mostly be a placeholder, but it's consistent with above, right?)

eventually we want the email info to actually live in a card that actually uses the *email name. eventually :)

Ah right, as per expose card metadata in cards --John

This change will be required at some point to support some of the refactoring going on now. The key point is that the *names referred to in the code will have to have cards so that they can have both a name and a codename. Right now, the key and codename for these cards has to be the same because there is one source for both in the code. If a Wagn admin or owner wants to rename these cards, right now they would have to change to code, and of course this will be an issue for translation (non-English Wagns) too.

I'm pretty sure that the keys and codenames for all cards can be constructed from the keys and codenames of their parts. In other words only simple cards need codenames and keys, but for searching the database had better have the complete keys. I suspect that codename will only ever be used for simple names.

Can builtins even be stored in the database now? Do we have a way to know which ones are builtins, etc.? Wagn initialization adds the content too, so it may just work to add the records and have the initialization cache them with content. Better would be really having cards for them. Oh, wait, they don't have content, just code in app/views/builtins. I suspect there will be a natural point to address these issues in the ongoing work.

We did this in Wagn 1.7.1
