Editing GunCAD Index (section)

=== Channel Auto-Discovery ===
The Index automatically discovers new authors based on a number of criteria:

* Channels for which any one single release has the "guncad" tag; and
* Channels for which:
** They have a release; and
** That release is identified by an automatic tagging rule (see below); and
** They are picked up by a search, which requires:
*** One of several dozen known-relevant tags on the channel (such as "guncad"); or
*** For any one release from that channel to be reposted by a channel already known by the Index
Between these discovery methods, the Index proves effective at discovering new creators, either by digging for them itself, voluntarily by the channel in question, or by other channels reposting content they find interesting.

As the process of channel auto-discovery can be problematic when bootstrapping new instances, a list of known channels is shipped with the software.
