[Search-l] Swicki

[michèle drechsler]

Hello,

I have also built a search engine "swicki" for education in France.

http://swicki-education-swicki.eurekster.com/

The idea of Swiki is a very good idea ( with tags... and collaboration 
aspects). I have not finished to explore this Web2.0 tool.
 I make a research with "folksonomie" and  collaborative "Search engine" for 
the doctorat.

I would like to test Yacy (OpenSource search engine) but I have difficulties 
for the installation.

Are there other engines Open Source?  That interest me.

Is there an engine of the Swicki type in open source?


Best regards
Michèle Drechsler (France)
