People are looking for a certain type of data on the web.. articles. And they can't find them as easily as they'd hope.

Search indexes and engines aren't really suited to finding - just- articles. They find pages or sites, but the best data unit for professional information on the web is 'articles'.

I'm proposing a site which specifically deals with articles as search objects rather than sites or pages. From my initial market research, something like this which is unbiased and non-commercial could be a major hit. I'm going to continue further with my inquiries and make a prototype.

Of course, all free and any source will be open! I'll post more as I get closer to a result.

Hi. I'm Boog. I've just spent 12 hours solid programming writing a content system which, at the moment, looks VERY similar to Advogato. However, that's just the design templates. I needed a very simple and clean design to use for development.

Basically it's just a community content system, i.e. where anyone can contribute, and admins have to authorise (or delete) stuff which accumulates in the message queue. I am going to be releasing it as free software. It's as powerful as NewsPublisher or NewsPro already, and with all of these extra features, even more so.

I look forward to participating in the Free Software forum, although my software doesn't quite come under Debian guidelines!

You can try out my system at BigBold.com if you want :-)
