Hope?  That's what *excites* me!  This isn't your average search  
engine and traditional design with all the expected hard data that  
everyone else crunches every day.  This is something new, something  
radical, something unknown.  Hope and passion is what drives me every  
day to think about how to do this better, more openly, to make this  
effort the foundation of an entirely new and different search platform.

This is not about hard data, I'm sorry if you're expecting to be able  
to relate this to something you know, it can't be.  This is  
absolutely about hope and dreams.

Search defines things, it is one of humanities greatest tools right  
now, and I can only *hope* that my contributions will help advance it  
further.
