Eachus" : > Correct. ... Fair enough. Makes any of my proposed naming schemes irrelevent though :-) So it would seem that your DB categories would be something along the lines of "Vendors", "Tools", "Papers", "Libraries" etc ? Or would you be limiting to code based ("Libraries", "Tools") items ? > ... "out there" and available for use I like the idea of being able to centrally find what is "out there". Traveling from AdaIC yesterday reminded me of links and introduced me to others. However, there are too many dead/bad/out-of-date links (not just AdaIC, AdaPower too) which quickly discourages one from further exploration and hints (possibly falsly) at a lack of website interest or maintenence. I know I should wait for your HTML publication before asking, but have you allowed for a mechanism, within the Registry, which will ensure that a potential user does not quickly get annoyed by dead-[links,entries] and give up using it ? -- ------------------------------------------------- -- Merge vertically for real address -- -- s n p @ t . o -- k i e k c c m -------------------------------------------------
