Yeah, the service_types_generated method was an added API requirement 
that services I don't use probably don't have yet. It's easy enough to 
add that method--but the services may or may not be working otherwise.  
Here's a note of the ones I know work, vs the ones I don't.  Which is 
really the ones I use here at JHU vs the ones leftover from Ross that I 
don't.

Yes, that's a good idea.

I'm not sure what's going on there, I simply dont' use YahooSearch. It 
may be that the 'view' you are using just ignores the data returned by 
YahooSearch, that's my guess. Are you using the Umlaut 'default' view, 
or my 'alt' view I use with JHU?  I have no idea what the default view 
does; like I suggested before, now that GA Tech isn't using Umlaut 
anyway, we should probably make my 'alt' (actually maintained) view the 
default standard.

I have no idea how to do this. You have any idea?  I can give you full 
permissions on our rubyforge project if that would help.
