swestrupOne of the many things that NWO is supposed to support is collaborative filtering of email. Now, I've been thinking about that on and off for some time, and I've found myself wishing that some small part of the system were already working, so that I could use it to help filter the gazillions of megaquads of tech discussions that arrive in my inbox every day.
Then it occured to me that I could take a simple and free webmail client, and try writing some collaboration software for it, to try out the idea I've had. Currently though, I don't have a good design. The only ones I have are big and elaborate. I think what I need to start doing is concentrating on what is the smallest useable subset of the technology I've been thinking about, so that I have something that can be written rapidly. Maybe something that just stores and supports metadata lookups. Hmm.
