I think that this is a great idea. The concept experts is interesting, Auto Keywords could also be worked into the pages meta tags to help search engines.

So you can count it as a 1 all now :)

I think it's a great idea, too. It makes me think about using a similar technique to help with the 'community' blogging discussions going on. I don't have a link handy, but several Domino bloggers have argued that a collaborative blogging community would make all these comment-oriented discussions much more powerful. Automatic categorization and keyword generation across multiple blogs, to generate a fully indexed and organized aggregation? Combining this with some of the techniques you've used at Lotusphere sessions for displaying detail records inline, including a useful display of threaded comments? Yeah, would be way cool. Rich Schwartz's aggregation project could use something like this, methinks.

By the way, I can see one issue with trying to get Midas into the blogging world - most bloggers do this for fun, and pay for it out of their own pocket. Unless there was a pretty low-cost license, I don't know how many would sign up. Although since this is your business, I'm sure you've thought of that...

To Rob McDonagh: I would probably do some extremely low price license that was based on the template, so if you use Blogsphere, for example, you could use it.

To Robert Basic: Thanks, I'll take a look at the Wiki stuff. I'd hate to re-invent the wheel.
