[geeklog-devel] Globals in GL2

[Tony Bibbs]

I don't care how the user interfaces with the configuration.  I think we 
all agreed some time ago that most of the configuration would be 
web-based.  But, regardless of stored format (xml, DB, etc), the data 
needs to be in a structure we can read.  Seems an array is Ok for that, no?
