Re: Discussion forums search results enhancement

What web technology does http://www.fixprotocol.org/ use? I am asking because if I come across anything open source freeware that could be useful here, I would be happy to share it with FIX webmasters.
Regards,
K. Mahesh
> A word of caution on such suggestions which are generally welcome to enhance the services offered by FPL. However, FPL is a non-profit organization that largely depends on the payment of membership fees. There are still many more FIX users than FPL members. There is no large permanent staff that is looking for ideas to implement. I agree that the FPL discussion forums could be enhanced to be more in line with other forums with better search and navigational features. There are examples where technology was developed and tested outside independently from FPL and then donated to FPL and this approach has worked pretty well. FPL can and does implement incremental changes to existing tools and services.
