[OPLINTECH] New discussion list - OWIG

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi Don,

Sorry for the critic's eye, but why would you name a list discussing
federated search products after a specific product provided by a 
proprietary vendor? I certainly have some ideas for federated search
products based on open source toolkits like Zebra and Lucene, but would
hesitate to get involved in a list with such a bent towards a given
vendor's product. 

Just my two cents.
