sorry Franco that I didn't know that,

James,

an important part of my plans would be the launching of the topical
channels, that would combine wiki updates, blog categories, and the
appropriate delicious tags,

we need just one meta design, in which we can fill the appropriate feeds,
and replicate the same meta code for the other topical channels

do you think this could be integrated?

to justify it in terms of the EU budget, I could construct topical channels
that are directly related to our research project,

which the p2p-f could then use as well,

Michel
