I'm guessing the partial search thing, but the bulk add thing really needs to be
sorted out too.

NIP'd love to move the archives at http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists.html to a
wholely Zope solution, but ZCatalog consistently exploded when we tried to do
this.
For now, we're working on a Zope front end into MySQL (MySQL's new full text
searching stuff is pretty damn quick, maybe you could nick their algorithms? ;-)

So, are both of these problems being addressed? If so, when are we likely to see
them?

Thanks for the work so far :-)
