in reply to suggestions - randomnode keyword ENN edev
on Everthing New Nodes: it's a nice idea, but since Everything is not necessarily perl, if this was added, someone's going to ask for a slashdot box to be put in; and then someone's going to ask for a K5 box, and then...well, you get the idea -- you stumble into the fact that /. has at least 50 possible boxes. While I do agree that with the Everything engine powering both sites that cross-'advertizing' of the sites isn't a ethical problem, it could lead to the wanting of more features.
On Deleting Keywords - I do think this would be useful; another possible way (to add YET more form elements :D), would be to have a "helpful"/"not helpful" radios for each keyword; if a keyword amasses more than, say, 25 non-helpfuls, it's sent either directly to dev/null, or to a limbo area where a level 10-er decides it's fate. Alteratively, one could have the owner of the node suggest for keywords to be deleted to some higher power, whom decides if that's the case or not. For the site-wide nodes, all higher levels would 'own' the node as to help clean out the lists on these bigger nodes, since most of them are owned by vroom to start with.
