I don't want to burden LDP authors (or even worse, non-authors) with
|
|
creating metadata files. I think that if we need such files, they
|
|
could be automatically extracted from the source by copying the
|
|
abstract, date, author, etc. Also, I routinely search all of the text
|
|
of all of the HOWTOs using grep on a 486 and it goes fairly fast. I'm
|
|
busy reading early hits while waiting for it to finish. Searching all
|
|
the text is more through than searching metadata, but searching just
|
|
the metadata would obviously be faster.
|
|
|
|
But I vote for metadata provided it can be extracted with a script
|
|
from existing documents.
