hi anthere
ok, no problem, I was upset, because agreeing on a (open search) project (wikiasari) means as well not to lauch third party projets with the same ideas and names just in time to disturb the agreement (wkiseek is bashing wikisari, if not the same people are running it). But that is market.
There is no such "agreement". Wikiasari does not exist, in any real terms; it's a vague sketch of an idea. Neither 'wikiasari' or wikiseek are operated by the Foundation, funded by the Foundation, or in any way our problem. Nor - indeed - are they seeking to do the same thing; one is a general-purpose search engine and one is tied to a specific corpus. One has been in development for months; one has just magically appeared in the last few weeks and is still being debated.
They are not run by the same people; they are not doing the same thing; and yet you believe they are in conflict. You apparently seem to believe that when one group of people have decided "we will create an open search engine" without yet working out how it will work, a timescale, a plan, anything... that every other search-engine project in the world should down tools and not do anything until that's finished. This is just bizzare, and completely at odds with the way the development world works.
Here: There was the post about a sub-project of the wikipedia to start an open search engine owned by the foundation.
There has never *been* such a project in the community. You fervently want us to create one using your pet ideas, and you keep telling us about it; please do not mistake this for support.
we need no peerpedia domain or a project management, just 10.000 Dollars for 50 desktop pc´s indexing wikipedia in an open source engine.
The Foundation has better things to spend ten thousand dollars on. We *have* a freely available search engine, which indexes Wikipedia, and is working well enough for now. Why should we spend money on something else just because you shout about it?
