Well, this is more of a "meta" deliverable than a material/actionable  
one, I don't know if they can really be compared.

I completely agree that they are very core to why we're all here and  
need to be developed/matured.  I like simple things though, and one- 
line definitions work well for me :)

I'd like to believe we're all owners, and I'm not just giving the idea  
lip service, everything being worked on is open and while Wikia is  
hosting some of the front-end / results display and pushing the  
project, nobody owns the idea that search should have these principles  
or be built openly.
