#96: keyword indexes and tag clouds

Using svn trunk, when I invoke GN homepage, and click "Advanced Search", a
keywords text input is presented with an clickable icon which, which
clicked, shows popular keywords with number of like records.

When looking through the underlying DB model (I'm using !MySQL), I can't
seem to find where this keyword index is stored. Is it stored on disk
instead? Where?

Having said this, I think this index lends very well to the concept of tag
clouds [1]. One can envision tag clouds as being presented on the search
page to allow users to click quickly to popular records, etc.

One can also envision the keyword index being available for tag-cloud
generators as an APML document [2].

I think it would be worthwhile to add functionality to output APML
documents as a portal service, i.e.:

{{{http://host/geonetwork/srv/en/portal.apml?maxrecs=10\}}}

..where maxrecs would limit the results. A server-side configuration
value can be set which is overridden by a URL param passed (if the URL
param passed < server-side value).

GeoNetwork opensource is a standards based, Free and Open Source catalog application to manage spatially referenced resources through the web. It provides powerful metadata editing and search functions as well as an embedded interactive web map viewer. This website contains information related to the development of the software.

I'm a little confused here, just joined the list and assumed that email
like this would go to Geonetwork-commit@
I'd like to be on the developer list but I'm not really interested in
seeing every trac bug update, and svn commit that comes through.
Is this the standard for this list, communication via ticket updates no
direct discussions via email about bugs and how to fix them, or tips on
getting some code done before commits etc. Cause that's what I was
expecting.

Thanks,
Alex
