Get your Index on!

This morning, I found out that you can be something called a "freelance indexer". That is one more field that had never crossed my mind, as I figured that indexing was probably done by robots.

In fact, I once saw a demonstration of a prototype robo-indexer, that would automatically semantically link keywords in documentation to their definitions. The prototype has yet to result in a more robust tool, so I guess that humans will play a large part in creating indexes for a while still.

If you want to learn more about indexing, maybe you should look into this course. Goes down in Sydney on the 28th of June.
