Re: Random Sampling Tool

Vivienne,

This sounds great.  I think it is important to figure out what kinds of 
sites this works on (e.g. I'm guessing only those sites where the full 
set of possible URLs is known).

I also wonder if the tool can do any pattern recognition on "classes" of 
pages: think about the site of an on-line merchant with ~10 different 
types of products (and pages for them), user reviews (where users can 
enter HTML), etc.  You might want the sample to include at least once of 
each "type" or "design" of page...

I've asked that it be larger than the sample required to allow the evaluator to cross off pages that are already in the targeted sample.
