Seems to me, that one of the things that makes the web an awkward 
beast is the lack of a searchable index.  It depends on folklore 
to stay together.  Hence, you have these post that come to this 
mailer saying look here, look what I built.  If you neglect to 
add it to Marc's hotlist, well, hmmm, now where was that mud thingy.

Perhaps this already exists, and I missed it in the documentation.
If the developers put their stuff in directory trees made up of keywords:

http://myunixbox.edu/www/mud/thingy

Then, I can find him in the index when I search for thingy.
I'm sure this has all been covered, but howso?   I missed it.
