[Search-l] call to action....

[Aerik Sylvan]

So... are you looking to join up with the Wikia project?  Or is this just
kind of a fishing email to see what happens (I'm not criticizing,  just
clarifying).

I, for one, think writing a search app in C probably makes a heckuva lotta
sense, if it's really going to scale.

However, if your project is based on the original paper, are you infringing
on any (ugh) patents?

Best Regards,
Aerik
