[dlpdev] subject indexing terms/keywords etc./classifciation systems

[Saul Albert]

Hi Dougie,

glad to see you're using the library!

I'm still working on getting the software sorted out. I'm afraid it's
all moving pretty slowly - but I do think that in the next few months
there will be an opportunity to really develop some of the more
interesting ideas with relation to categorisation and indexing. For the
moment - the dlp is still based on the model of communitybooks.org -
which is basically an inverse-amazon. 

However, anythying added to this is still useful - because we will still
be able to convert the data set gathered in the dlp uk database into
whatever new dlp emerges.

For the time being, I've installed the latest version of the dlp
software at http://dlp.theps.net/dev/ and have added the categories
'Law' and 'Medecine'.

This will enable you to use those definitions for the time being - also
to add music and do various other bits and pieces, but the major upgrade
of the software is still to come.

Cheers!

Saul.
