[Search-l] iterating to some better definition

I've updated the search.wikia.com page with a slightly more  
descriptive title:

	"Search Wikia Labs"

It's minor but important, the idea of a laboratory where there are  
many search projects based on our four principles (transparency/ 
community/quality/privacy, TCQP) is much more accurate.

Derived from this I want to suggest at least four individual "Lab"  
focal points to start with:

Social Lab - sources for URL social reputation, experiments in wiki- 
style social ranking.
Distributed Lab - projects focused on distributed computing,  
crawling, and indexing.
Semantic Lab - Natural Language Processing, Text Categorization, etc.
Standards Lab - formats and protocols to build interoperable search  
technologies.

Just to start getting a feel for how all this would sound on the main  
page, I started (poorly) tweaking a copy at http://search.wikia.com/ 
wiki/User:Jeremie/main_page and any help is welcome :)
