I get the feeling that the first real test of a resource discovery system might be to find the right mailing list on the topic. There are TOO MANY. It seems that a new one springs up about every two weeks USUALLY started by the same people. Is there some escalating competition for members, with market share improved by having slightly different varieties (like shelf space and the cola wars). Please, let's decide on a single place to discuss the topic. This forum should be stable, not one of these fly by night working groups where the group disbands every three months and a new group forms to take over where the first left off. Anyway, this is all I will say on the topic. I will join such a group once it exists, but I don't care that much about who maintains it, or where it is maintained. ~ Cliff
