[Sigia-l] Combining a FC with distributed authorship

[Avi Rappoport]

Why not make the author's name a facet, and present them with a list 
of their content?   You could also use the old organization as 
another facet, when there are multiple authors working together.  No 
reason to limit the facets to end-user-oriented data, might as well 
use them internally too.
