What do you have in mind?

well... multiple indices.. :)
JMarc

I plan to support splitidx, since it runs once on the file. So, it is
easier to handle. For example, I will not have to control the number
of indices, since the file write handle of Latex is limited.

However, splitidx is not available in every distro (for example my
suse doesn't have it). I hate software which keeps asking some other
software to work correctly. Therefore, I plan also to support David M.
Jones' implementation (index). I haven't scrutinized both packages,
but it seems to me, Jones' implementation have some slight advantages
(like custom counters, etc..) and some disadvantages..

supporting both packages brings new difficulties in terms of
consistency, though...

Oh, I will also keep support for ordinary index package.

If you have no time, I can start the implementation immediately. But I
have to ask a couple of things..

- I assume you have some idea on how to implement this feature, in
terms of user interface etc. If you share your vision about multiple
indices, then both of us will be happy with the result.

- I have limited time. I mean in two months, I will probably disappear
for six months. therefore I need somebody to maintain the code when I
am away. I am sure that I will finish a working and clean version
before I leave, but I cannot guarantee things will work in every
frontend.
