Re: [CODE4LIB] Group-sourced Google custom search site?
Just curious: - what do you mean by Some way to avoid the site-scrapers who populate the troubleshooting pages. (last sentence below)? I presume you are wishing to avoid the trouble shooting sites which consist of nothing more than pages copied from other sites, and look only at the prime source pages for information?

That reminds me - I was looking last week into the possibility of making a Google custom search site with either a whitelist of trusted technology sites, or a blacklist of sites to exclude. I haven't looked into whether the management of that could be group-sourced, but maybe someone else here has thought about this. I haven't looked into the terms of service of custom search sites, either. But of course slashdot was high on the whitelist. I was thinking about sites for several purposes - general technology news and opinion, or specific troubleshooting / programming sites.
