Is there a specific query language your thinking of here (i.e. google refine's regex language)? As you know there's a trade off between query complexity and performance; striking that balance will be critical. At this point we're focusing really on just getting this project off the ground and providing something for folks to react to. As this evolves however, getting specific about these requirements will be critical. As I mentioned in a previous email, we hope to start using the wiki to capture community suggestions for shaping curret design / future consideration so any details to the ones above you can provide would be helpful. > I'm happy to put limited time into testing and helping with > documentation. Excellent! thanks for the offer.
