IMO the idea isn't to index code at all (which is very special  
purpose), but to index all "project" content like wikis and mailing  
lists and blogs, etc.  Maybe not very useful to many people overall tho?

It might just be most useful to daily crawl and index the top 1M urls  
or something, as a public demonstration/set of data?
