Sense this is a ZCatalog issue, and ZCatalog looks like it might be used
alot in large sites, what is the feasibility of the Wordnet project's
data and data model being used to enable "Smart Searching" for "future"
multilingual searching. The stopwords would be up to Zope and if the
EuroWordnet data was available then that language could be searched just
like english.

EuroWordnet project is creating wordnets databases in something like 21+
languages. (Their main site is not working...)

the Wordnet project's site is: 
http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/

there is a python API for Wordnet avialable at:
http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~steele/sources/wordnet-python.html


Just wanted to get the idea out and see what you think??? (Sense we're
all asleep, I might not get any responses :)

David,
tone..
