Oh, I didn't mean it's not possible to build the module. Just that it
doesn't exist currently, and I would like to see one. (I can't write
it, as I'm working on about a million other open source projects right
now, and already way over my head in work--I have to do my real job too
sometimes ;-).
I agree, it's quite possible...but until there is such a module
existing, I can't support Oops with our content filtering project. The
project of gathering the data and sifting through it alone will far
outpace what one paid employee and some volunteers can do. SquidGuard
works great for our objective (providing a high quality porn filtering
system for schools and libraries without the politics of the proprietary
censorware vendors), but if Oops had an easy way for us to support it as
well, we would.
