Good to hear.

Yup, thanks for the sample data set.  Also, if you put in the url 
'www.multikulti.ork.uk' you get terms from said page.  You can then 
filter them even further...

Right, that's been added to the list of things to do.

Oops, I forgot about that one.  Also added to the todo list.

Strange?  Are you going through a proxy there?

That may be related to the fact that the standalone test server does 
not honour Keep-Alive requests, so try clicking on the link a couple of 
times.  Another problem I've run into recently is that the server 
sometimes dies due to a MySQL connection problem.  At some point in the 
near future I plan on moving the staging server to run under Apache, 
which will make these problems go away.
