WAIS should link to this article - brad s — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.1.15.107 ( talk) 23:54, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Does WAIS now only have historical significance? If so the article should plainly state so. Mathiastck 17:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Pretty sure wais has gone away by now, but the article should say more about the end of it in the History Section. The comparison to World Wide Web is also quite weak. Do I need to sign the mobile interface? Shanen ( talk) 01:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
Is GPOAccess still using WAIS? Jodi.a.schneider 14:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
My goodness, this page is skimpy. Not even any mention of the participants of the WAIS project, or how it preceded the WWW and was competing with Gopher for being the most successful distributed information service. I suppose the FAQ from comp.infosystems.wais - http://www.uni-giessen.de/faq/archiv/wais-faq.getting-started/msg00000.html for example - could be used as a starting point for expanding this article. What is the Wipipedia policy on including or recycling stuff from Usenet FAQ lists, that are not otherwise marked with copyright information? I think it should be in the spirit of those Usenet FAQ lists, but that doesn't mean it's officially acceptable? -- Lasse Hillerøe Petersen 18:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
It could be mentioned that WAIS, Gopher, and the WWW were seen as equal competitors in the early 90s. 68.144.96.168 ( talk) 05:17, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
