The thing with Freegle is that I modeled it in close analogy to WWW search
engines. Those search engines usually rely on HTML (text, meta tags, links)
to categorize urls. Some also allow entering additional keywords in their
submission form, but I don't like that. A site should "speak for itself"
IMO.

Now that we have metadata in key indices though, I'm not the person to
boycott that. Storing the RDF metadata in Freegle will probably require some
changes in the db (a new table). Since I have some other bugs to fix first
and progress is generally quite slow at the moment, this may take a while.
But I am willing to do it.

BTW - I have a question for all of you: Would anyone be interested in
downloading a tarball of the whole Freegle database (mysql format)? I could
put it up for download. This database can be useful for many purposes. But
it can be harmful too - some of the Freenet DOS attacks discussed on this
list rely on a database of as many keys as possible.
