it may be that in the future the Foudnation supports
such a project.
I have no problem with you discussing this here, but please do realise
that until 48 hours ago, none of us had ever heard of this project. We
just discovered it through the press and are unrelated to it.
Best regards
Ant
Hi Ant, that´s it. We need an initial discussion that the wikipedia/wikimedia foundation
needs an open source search engine.
We should take time to discuss the need and the options brought by your idea for such a
project. Keep wikia what it want to be. Let´s foundraise an own new open source search
engine.
and I suggest to base upon
http://yacy.net - the p2p webindex-search.
If then wikia chooses as well this idea, we can later collaborate as well.
If Jimmy chooses the central engine "nutch", then we have our own.
So this is about to bring out the idea to the foundations in each country here on the
list, and to start a thread about it on this list.
48 hours or one hours you bring up the idea here, and before the decisions here really
start, we should discuss the option, to have in each wikipedia country a search field box,
to search as well in the web with yacy.
Users can install the firefox toolbar, see here how it works:
http://www.yacy-websuche.de/wiki/index.php/De:YaCyBar
It would be wrong that the foundation goes to the press and says, we have nothing to do
with it, we could use the hype to work out an own concept.
With options for a collaboration with
wikia.com
We should use the chance, to use the reality, which was created by the press, as it seems
to be needed.
Would it be possible to run
yacy.net on each wikipedia server (or other) and get the
search box into the wikipedia left manue (at the bottom) )
The wikiepdia yacy server then could index the wikiepdia server.
So please someone can forward this mail to the tech-admin list of the wikiservers? Thanks
Kind regards Tom
