Ask Jeeves Crawler access to Debian
HelloDebian: This is Kaushal Kurapati from Ask Jeeves. I am a Senior Search Product Manager here and wanted to speak to you about a crawler blocking issue. Onbugs.debian.org, we notice that thereis a"disallow" directive in your robots.txt that blocks our crawler from accessing pages on your site. As you might know, Ask Jeeves search reaches out to 29M users (according to ComScore, afterour ISH acquisition) and in the overall online space Ask Jeeves + Excite network is placed #6 in site traffic, right after Ebay. Our goal is to provide the most relevant contentto web searchers andDebian.org being amajoropen source/linux web site,we are very interested in having access to the relevant content on your site. We would like to request crawler access to your website. Currently our crawlers are blocked by you through your Robots.txt file. Please let me know what you need to know from us to unblock our crawlers (crawler/agent name etc?). I would greatly appreciate your help in this matter. Thanks, Kaushal --- Kaushal Kurapati Sr. Product Manager Ask Jeeves, Inc. 1501 So. Washington Drive, Piscataway, NJ 08854 [work]: 732-907-3016 [cell]: 914-572-6157 email : [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Ask Jeeves Crawler access to Debian
Thanks for responding. [you said]: Why do you feel you should index the entire bugs site yourself? If people wish to search for bugs in debian, there are specialised search engines for that. [kaushal]: Search engines have pretty much become gateways for people looking for anything. So people come to our site and look for bugs in debian say, then we should be able to direct people to your site content; this broadens your reach effectively, since people could be searching on search engines right now and not finding anything from your site. Of course as you said, they can come to your site and look for stuff, but why shut out the broader option of reaching your site via search engines. Thanks for your comments.

I suspect you already have all the interesting content from bugs.debian.org by indexing lists.debian.org. If people are searching Ask Jeeves for debian bug content not on search engines, they probably have more fundamental problems than the content being unindexed. ;-) Of course as you said, they can come to your site and look for stuff, but why shut out the broader option of reaching your site via search engines.

I think it's very important that debian.org shows that these patents would affect the development of OSS and Linux especially. Debian is a free operating system and should have an interest to be free and legal in the future too. I agree that software patents are important to Debian, but I'm not sure how best to present this on the web site. Would you please make a more concrete proposal (preferably with a patch)?

Speaking as one of the Debian bug tracking system administrators, although perhaps not for all of them: Since almost all of bugs.debian.org is dynamically generated and very densely hyperlinked (often to various different representations), crawlers tend to sit there for days on end wandering through it for relatively little gain. It's not uncommon for one of them to get totally lost in the list of bugs indexed by submitter, which really isn't relevant to them, and for one of us to come along some time later and wonder why somebody's making ten thousand extremely similar queries in sequence that take a few seconds each. That sort of thing is why the robots.txt entry is there. Maybe if you were to make some suitably large donation to cover the cost of adding that power, people would reconsider. It's mostly an effort/usefulness trade-off. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
