Bit of a long shot this one, but am interested in knowing if anyone has an 
idea on the high level feasibility of how you could automatically generate 
contextual links between articles, ie:
yes - could be done, like this....., or no - can't be done, because


To explain further...

Once a user has created an article we would like them to be able to
select easily from a list of related articles, and then ideally give the 
user the option of allowing the creation of seperate links at the bottom of 
the  parent article to these related articles or even creating in-context 
links within relevant keywords.

This is something I know commerical applications can achieve, (via the MS 
route)
How I think this works in the commerial applications is that the user 
invokes MS index server which trawls through all the content and selects 
what it thinks are the top matches, the user then selects those relevant 
matches, and then choses to either automatically create links to them from 
the bottom of their parent article or create in-context links withen the 
document itself.
The obvious advantage to this system is that it allows you to greatly 
enhance the number of routes into your content.

Whilst I can imagine it's not hugely difficult to implement, step 1 above in 
Midgard, ie: using some kind of spider (Mngosearch) to trawl through the 
database and pull out relevant articles, I can't imagine how one would 
achieve the automatic insertion of the article location either into the 
bottom of the parent article or within the chosen keywords on the article 
content.

thanks,
Andrew
