Insurge

FYI that there was a breakout session at last week's Access conference on sharing of social content across bibliographic systems. The InSurge model may work well for this.

I started to take a look at the existing Alpha1 InSurge code but uncovered several questions. I'm not a coder at all (I can talk basic pseudocode concepts) so I apologize if the answer are in the code itself.

I took a look through the insurge-client.php and insurge-server.php but don't see anything in there that looks like a "sync InSurge repository" function, though I did see room in ../config/insurge.ini to enter an ID and key for a parent InSurge server.

1. Is the piece that syncs InSurge data across repositories built yet?

Also, from my review of the code, I'm not clear:
2. How to refer to the same edition of an book across systems (seems to refer to a bnum which looks like a local systemID
3. Whether a uid (userID) is or isn't shared across InSurge repositories.
