Unless I'm way behind here (which is entirely possible) it seems as
though we are all discussing implementations, without a clear
understanding of the requirements. I think Dave has a good idea for
implementing a quick & dirty index on topics, but what are we missing?
Does anyone think it a good idea to come up with a requirements
document/RFC? Here goes .. In my voluminous spare time IF no one else is
already working on such a project, I will volunteer to compile a list of
requirements, so our implementation ideas can be considered in context.
