Kinda' what the tracker does-- shows the keywords that people have 
already defined.

Oh, if you have private keywords, then I suggest that you implement 
something like: Michael's date last read.  That way each user could 
find posts that he recently read (regardless of when posted).  Searches 
like last month, this week, today, are a great timesaver.  (Recently 
Played in iTunes)

I suspect that this will be an evolving thing... for you as the 
implementor and us as users.

We have the advantages of:

-- reasonably limited topic area
-- interested, qualified participants at all levels of expertise
-- willingness to contribute (maybe too willing :) for the benefit of 
others
-- pretty civil behavior, on topic, without many flames

There is less of this on HOF lists than most lists.

I say, go for it... could even be a product or a future feature to the 
CF engines.
