(Crossposted to both Wikia-l and Search-l)<br><br>Late last week, we opened the Wikia Search Blog, <a href="http://search.wikia.com/blog/" target="_blank">http://search.wikia.com/blog/</a> (You may have seen a link in the new navigation menu.) We're hoping to use it as a vehicle for surfacing the project generally, but also as a place for the community to discuss the project and web search in general. In fact, Jimmy has a post going live in about an hour about why Grub is so important to the future of the Internet.<br>
<br>The blog does not aim to replacing the search-l mailing list, so feel free to participate in either or both place(s). There will be some redundancy, of course -- for example, I'm posting the weekly updates in both places.<br>
<br>Also, while the blog necessarily is the "official" voice of Wikia, replete with the responsibilities and headaches thereto, the blog is not meant to be a walled garden. Everything is up for discussion, down to what license to make the content available under and the order of the sidebar. So please shoot over ideas, questions, concerns, etc.<br>
