[Tagdb] Tag Planet?

[Nitin Borwankar]

Otis,

Thanks for the update on Simpy - I asked a similar question so I'll save 
you "the parrot ...".
Given this info about Simpy's capabilities my preference would be to go 
with Simpy rather than del.
I'll let others chip in and we should come to a consensus shortly as 
this is a badly needed service.
I agree that polluting the tag space is not the best way to go.
So do you want to show us how it's done, set up a group, etc.?

In other news, I bought a copy of your (and Erik's) excellent Lucene 
book .....
Good stuff.

Nitin.
