Dear All, I am indeed looking foward to usinmg this feature. I have tried to but hasnt worked as to expectation so far.
Such a tool will help us create mini-libraries or encyclopedias within WE for subject specific searches. The non availability of "tagging" in WE can really be subtituted by Contributions to a large extent. The availability of both Tagging and Contributions will be a blessing as it will make these mini-libraries rather easily located and contents utiliesed. Another area of WE we should perhaps look into is the SEARCH tool. The engine rather lacks the rigrousness of other search engines on the market. Of course, this may not be the intent, but we should perhaps look into optimising its output. Any suggestions in this too? regards, Victor.
