Carolyn:
You mean have a button called something like 'Inish Alley' on the 
finished site, which is a hotlink taking you straight to that list ? 
It doesn't sound difficult to do, for them wot knows how to..Paul ?? 
Any thoughts ?

Me:
You can, but I don't see the point.  Why do we want to link to the
list?  Why not just add what the acronym stands for in the category
description field?  The fields isn't being used, but that's one
reason why it's there.  Now if we want to show people everything,
then yes, link to the list.


> Exactly which filters would be best and how the threads are shown 
needs some thinking about. No-one's going to be happy if we don't get

it right first  time. What sort  of time-scale before it has to be 
addressed? Can Paul advise?

Carolyn:
I suspect that we should begin working on it fairly soon, as it is 
also a useful way of checking what has been coded under various 
headings, and making any adjustments before the number of posts 
becomes too daunting to deal with.
