I hope this is the right place for this email, rather than the open
discussion forum.

Can anybody tell me how we go about enhancing features during this
pre-release phase, and immediately after the release? I want to
add some features to the userpage, particularly a page description,
keywords and do-publish option.
Will there be patch releases to come out later? Can features like
the userpage be released separately from the full next-release (8.3)?
I also am thinking about a system that would draw search robots to a
special directory in PWS. I would write some functions that would
create static pages that have links back to the actual page, and
create a robots.txt file to direct robots to search this 'index'
directory. Different features/modules could call this function to
create or replace entries in this directory. The entries in this
directory would not be visited by a regular site visitor, unless he
is coming in from a search engine.
The function would look something like this:
robot_announce(
announcement_name => Like a primary key to replace an old
announcment
keyword_list => golf, poker, beer
description => Description destined for the html header
summary => Human readable summary of the page or link
expiration => days to retain announcement in robot_index
url_to_page => "http://......")
{
Create static page using input params;
Write the url of this page to an index page ("announcement_name")
that search engines would seek out.
}
There may be a better way to do this, and I'm open to ideas. I
especially would need advice about how to make these entries
attractive to a search engine. It doesn't do too much good if robots
decide these are just a bunch of trivial little pages to be placed at
the end of search results.
