It's a wonderful variant of autocomplete. And yes, it is a huge opportunity...

I remember in Paris, the MyCamTools folks looking at a tool that would let them accomplish what Nathan had in his designs: basically, as the user types, the list of sites narrows to only those that match the text typed. I also remember that Erin had a bit of this in the early designs for Pager.

Is there an opportunity here?

Subject: efficiently finding lots of sites

At Michigan we are going to need to find all of the "My Workspace" sites that don't contain a particular tool (so we can make sure we can safely insert that tool). We have several tens of thousands of users so the method must be reasonably efficient, and I'd like to avoid going straight to SQL if possible. I can think of several inefficient ways to generate the list via the Sakai APIs. Does anyone have a idea about how to do this efficiently with the Sakai APIs?

We'll going need to do this more than once so it is worth some effort for us to avoid having to handcraft a solution every time.

Thanks - Dave
