Several folks here have expressed an interest in domain-specific
robots -- robots that would only retrieve and index documents relevant
to some field of knowledge, like baseball, gardening, or whatever.

I have created a cgi blackboard for us to share ideas. Please take
a look at <URL: http://www.tiac.net/users/lenherr/topboard.cgi >.

If you're NOT interested, think it's the royal road to perdition,
etc., please start your OWN forum. You're welcome to browse,
but please no off-topic entries or "undescribe" messages.

This blackboard is for people who ARE interested, think it's a good
idea, and want to do it efficiently and effectively.

For now, users will have to check for new postings. If it gets
busy, I could add a table of contents, notification, and date stamping,
but that seems overkill for now.

Please USE it if you're interested. Thanks.
