[chef] Re: Re: Data Bag Meta Data

[Noah Kantrowitz < >]

Chef does not current expose this information through the API, you can access 
some of it directly via postgres (I think mtime is tracked, but not the 
username of the last editor). This will eventually be available in Enterprise 
Chef as part of the reporting and audit trail features, but no ETA has been 
announced that I know of.
