UPDATE 9 FEBRUARY 2006 !!
This isn't the proper place, but I want to put this note where everyone will see it. With a couple of honourable exceptions, nobody has done anything on the site since Iain set it up a year ago.
I intend to start to populate it myself over the next few days, at least by adding more links.
I just want to assert that the objective of the site is NOT to try to reach consensus on indexing practice and standards, nor to be an unstructured online discussion group. The objective is to MAKE AVAILABLE information about good practice, by means of (commentated or otherwise) links to other sites, or by developing documents and examples on this site.
Anyone is of course free to propose adding anything at all, and I very much hope you will do so. You might like to email me at shuter@cix.co.uk
