Ive been following it, but haven't posted anything over there. Honestly, if you
read a lot of the "public" content in the forum and mailing list it provides
you with absolutely nothing in terms of what they will be doing.
Jimmy Wales is still running 100% of the show, and every now and then you see
some article with him boosting his "idea". I haven't seen any power or
"commands" given to the general (unorganized) community.
They might turn out to surprise me, but so far its been ALL public relations. I
manage a search engine based on Nutch and Lucene and its still bigger then
there's, too bad I cant wheel and deal the same PR monkey's.
My search engine is more proof of concept (and a hobby) then anything else, but
maybe one day it will generate more then the $20 per month in Google Ad revenue
it does now. A free tip for budding search engine creators; go vertical or go
home.*

Subject: Wikia Search Engine? Anyone working on it?
Just a curiosity. I saw the new article about the Wikia search engine
in Fast Company magazine. Is anybody here working with that project or
planning on working with it?
Personally I am working on a separate search project but I keep seeing
that they are going to use Nutch and Lucene. I haven't really seen
anybody that has been active on the lists say they are going to be
involved in the project though? What is everyone's interest level on this?
