Hooray for export csv!

I mean what you showed me with the clever URL searching to extract the context number

Re linkage - do you mean as a link within a text note? You can already do links with <http://foo.com>, but is that enough? You can export all items from the main browse view by pressing 'Export CSV' :)

It might also be nice to provide an export function to create a CSV e.g. all of the Items. I can organise the import to ARK from this, which would only be relevant if there was a form designed to capture Context or Find information I guess. (BTW it would also be nice to have a PoN RSS feed in the future).

In terms of the PhD component perhaps Tom could go up twice - once at the start to gather the information you need and once at the end to reflect on its success, and also to more generally observe practice? This might leave enough time in between to get the ToCHI paper in Tom?
