[Search-l] a flop?

[aerik at thesylvans.com]

my 2 cents:  this is just one very early implementation, bound to go
through big changes.  the community should (and is) shape the mini
articles.  remember how little structure there was to wikipedia at
first?  then a bureaucracy grew.  I think that's what has to happen in
any community driven endeavor.  lastly, I think the vision for search
has a social element to it, and thus the profiles.  honestly, I think
there is a social element to all the wiki type sites, and we are
overdue for structure and features to support it.
