[development] Created vs modified

[Walt Daniels]

I see a created field and a changed field in the node table, but I think
these are dates not authors. There is also a uid which I suspect is the
author, perhaps tied to the authmap table?? But no change author. 

So what I want may not be as simple as you imply.
