Magnifying glass

LAST night we added a Google search facility to the menu on the right (where two text input boxes now appear). This simple facility performs a search which is based on indexing rather than an exhaustive MySQL search. Here is an example.

At some stage in the future we will need to set up chronological lists of posts, separated by topic. If anyone volunteers to do this, that would be great. It gets hard to navigate through almost 4,500 posts and we could truly use timelines. ⬆

An old dog can learn new tricks. If no else volunteers, I'm at your service.

Excellent, thanks.

One thing that would help enormously is a list of events (with URLs) showing the progression of things like ODF, Xen, Samba, Corel, Novell's stance on patents, etc.

Do you have my E-mail address?
