I have read your comments and emails on the wikia.com project with interest.

"That is Wikia's strength - a large group of micro-search engines  
rather than one huge, generic, search engine like Google etc. The  
investment and profitability angle might be iffy." and more.

I would like to contribute to the discussion but I do not know what I  
have developed in the current language of "wiki".

I have been doing the GHQ.com project for a few years and developed  
the current live site at GHQ.com http://www.ghq.com

Basically it is intended to be a global search engines for weddings  
and celebrations where content is contributed on a semi wiki basis.  
Obviously our content will have to increase substantially.

My intent was to create a search engine that is on specific real  
events and contributed on a semi-wiki basis.

My question is: Does this qualify as a type of "micro-search engine"  
or a type of "wiki" ?

Or would I merely be seen as someone trying for self promotion of  
their own project if I tried to contribute to the discussion ?

Do I have anything to contribute to the wikia.com project in the  
GHQ.com project ?

Many thanks for your consideration.

Regards

George

Sorry about your non existent summer.

Note: Weddings and real family live events was an obvious start point  
as they happen to most. It is intended to increase the scope over  
time, however restricting it to human events only.
