So I had this idea this morning for a piece of software that should exist, if it doesn't already. Well, more specifically, it exists already, but not AFAIK as open-source; the online bookstores all have something like it. How do I find out if anyone's already had the same idea and/or is working on something similar, before I start working on a project from scratch? The project in question: a generic ratings and comments engine for a website. The things being rated could be anything, but site visitors should be able to vote on various survey questions for each (book|movie|restaurant), and add their comments. Visitors should also be able to add (books|movies|restaurants). Anyone seen anything like this, or know where I should look? I looked on freshmeat already. srl ----- Shane Renee Landrum slandrum<@>cs.smith.edu _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
