Awesome, it's cool to see that happening.

Not quite ready, doing lots of learning and playing with hadoop and  
nutch yet to digest the data :)

Yeah, that'd rock.  After seeing all of the issues that the various  
IP blacklisting group efforts have had, it's pretty daunting... not  
to say it isn't worth taking on though.  It's definitely something  
that the wiki-style administration of Grub could become though, I  
just need to get some of those ideas half-way implemented so we can  
all start to see how it feels in use.
