yes, but when we're talking utilising a content management system with 20+
authors posting weekly, few of 'em with an understanding of web stuff and
we're already struggling to get them to write a 20-30 word summary of their
stories...
oh, and the site already has a sizable and very loyal following - it
doesn't depend *at all* on search engine traffic. any incoming visitors are
a bonus.
i spent some time on this last night and found that by removing words of
three letters or less, those containing non-alpha chars and then trying to
remove all non-nouns, you *can* get a pretty accurate summary of the content.
