Catalogs are a good way to find information. Yahoo and DMOZ are both catalogs. They are also a good way to do keyword and other metadata searches. > What are people going to do?

Actually that's what we're adding with catalogs. And other metadata searches besides just keywords as well. > The only thing hindering the implementation of a scheme like this is the > combination of factors: Catalogs *are* an implementation of such a scheme. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From - Wed Apr 18 19:36:46 2001 Return-Path: <devl-admin at freenetproject.org> Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (postfix@[4.18.42.11]) by funky.danky.com (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA19051 for <danello at danky.com>; Wed, 18 Apr 2001 16:05:46 -0400 Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 14BAF58007; Wed, 18 Apr 2001 12:47:07 -0700 (PDT) Delivered-To: devl at freenetproject.org Received: from mail1.telia.com (t2o70p68.telia.com [62.20.148.188]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1675657D97 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Wed, 18 Apr 2001 12:46:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hobbex by mail1.telia.com with local (Exim 3.16 #1) id 14pxob-0000W4-00 for devl at freenetproject.org; Wed, 18 Apr 2001 21:40:37 +0200 From: Oskar Sandberg <[email protected]> To: devl at freenetproject.org Subject: Re: [freenet-devl] freegle.com: major overhaul Message-ID: <20010418214037.B1542 at hobbex.localdomain> References: <20010418123512.C6485 at tux.w3.org> <Pine.OSF.4.21.0104181402470.20746-100000 at curly.cc.utexas.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <Pine.OSF.4.21.0104181402470.20746-100000 at curly.cc.utexas.edu>; from blanu at uts.cc.utexas.edu on Wed, Apr 18, 2001 at 02:03:34PM -0500 Sender: devl-admin at freenetproject.org Errors-To: devl-admin at freenetproject.org X-BeenThere: devl at freenetproject.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.3 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: devl at freenetproject.org List-Help: <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=help> List-Post: <mailto:devl at freenetproject.org> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl>, <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=subscribe> List-Id: Discussion of information related to Freenet development <devl.freenetproject.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl>, <mailto:devl-request at freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe>
