Wow, Mr Browse has 25 entries in the guide! Don't you have any real work to be getting on with? =^_^=

I think you mean 160-ish.
But I'm the Editor on most of them - not the researcher.
And yes, I do have work to be getting on with - I just wish they'd let me do it.

So how many articles are there actually on-line at the mo? Is there somewhere we can look at that has this information?

I agree with some of the other contents. Live dynamic data would be pretty cool to see. I have a question, though. Many of the entries reference other entries. This is an excellent idea as I end up 3-clicks lost before I even remember what my original query was for. Anyways, are these links added by the editor or are we, as researchers, supposed to provide these links ourselves?

At the moment, they're added by editors, but we're planning on a system where the researcher can mark words/phrases as linked if they want.

Progress?

How's it going - are you all inundated? New entries don't appear to be streaming onto the front page, or is it just that as writers we do not cut the mustard?

Very cool, Tim. I hope I'm not asking the same questions you've answered 200 times already. I tried to find a FAQ or something but didn't have much luck. So the links are made by the editors. Gotcha. And what about the snappy titles?
