micro-mailing list info database

[Mark Khemma <mkhemma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
i've been on this list for a while now, and quite honestly, this has been
one of the better  mailing lists about modern contemporary music
as well as information that revolves such eclectic yet focused
ideas on art, dsp, philosophy of music, etc. . And as i was laying on my
couch pondering the many things that originated from this list, i realized
how wonderfull it would be if a microdatabase could be developed from
the information coming from the mailing list subject-heading and
parsed out content. Take for instance we have the current threads about cd
factories and curtis roads new book and where to get it, wouldn't it be
nice if a program could be developed that took
that information, which included links, comments, location, etc.
and
revolved them  on a webpage? I was thinking that if we could ge a small
group
of web prorammers , web designers who are on this list and anyone
else who wants to volunteer their time into doing this thing just shout.
I'm up to working on it. I was thinking that  we could acquire/develop a
program with email filtering capabilities which would extrapolate the
"useful" information from the extraneous--some sort of meta email agent
(god i wish i knew more on AI maybe someone on the list does ;)
)(possibly writen in perl with say a high regx affinity for http://
links),and  parse it into a html (xml? don't know it but i know
its powerful) file and ftp
it and  update the microsound datawebpage (simple bash script?) say every
other day (or a week?).Think of it as a slightly more useful links page
Also tell me if i just simply have my head up my ass,
its worth just as much merit considering
i'm writing this sorta drunk. anyway i'm done rambling, but i'm
crossing my fingers that others might find this useful for the microsound
community. :-)
-awaiting others' thoughts and comments

ps. things i've read on the microsound list that i wish that i had placed
the links somewhere nice and safe:
-where/how to make contact mics
-what was that book title again?
-where can i find the "definition" of liberalism or post structuralism?
-whats that microsoundy webpage url?
-where/when is said microlistmember playing?
-whats going on is australia even though i don't have the money to fly
from chicago to there, hehe
