I was not interested in a lot of theoretical

scientists put into card catalogues. I was

exists) who is

adequate references that

Useability feedback is certainly helpful. And as I
said before, people can help by thinking about the
kind of features they would want out of such a system-
what information should it be able to provide? What
is the best way to present it? My proposal is really
only based on my own experiences as an editor, so this
sort of feedback will be extremely helpful.
