 Yeah, I'm right with you... but while I can recognize the necessity and know that if given a proper spec and access to the proper resources can easily build the model implementation I have ZERO experience designing the architecture for something of this nature. I just want to make sure that you all are aware that I would love to hack the code together but am in no way able to offer any architectural suggestions -- at least not until I am able to see a bit of how those in the know would go about this type of project. For now I will simply step back and watch this thread and if a committe decides to pick this up then feel free to contact me when you need some code written :D In fact, PLEASE contact me when you do as I would LOVE to write it! With that, I will step aside and let those of you in whom already know or have a good idea as to what needs to be done take things from here. Thanks for picking this up Nathan! It will be neat if this can really come together :) On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 15:40:34 -0800, Nathan Young <natyoung@c...> wrote: > Hey. > > It seems like annotea could be used for this.
