Well, I was thinking more of
"What would librarians want in the 21st. century?"

My guess would be some funky text search type stuff.

I've always thought that plan9 would make a bonza platform
for serious data mining.

OTOH, we'd need serious interfaces to <spit>ODBC</spit>,
and suchlike if we were to do it properly:=(.

Cheers,
