*blush*, thanks, but I'd prefer to focus on the idea of a truly open  
community built and *better* search, not me or any individual/ 
company.  The idea is huge, absolutely :)

Yep, this goes beyond programming languages and even open source  
projects.  When an open protocol is established it becomes the  
framework for everyone to participate and collaborate, across the  
common dividers.  The Internet made computers more accessible, the  
Web made content more accessible, and with the right approach, we can  
make knowledge more accessible.
