Hoi,
The notion that WMF should out google Google is stupid, certainly at that
kind of money.
I'm still confused about what kind of 'search engine' is actually being
proposed here. Is it:
1) Wikimedia specific: index all of Wikimedia's content and make that easier for users
of the sites to find
2) Wikimedia + selected others: like (1), but also allow some other like-minded sources
into the mix
3) Google-scale: index everything (duckduckgo-like)
... or somewhere on the scale between those points?
A lot of people seem to be assuming (3), others are liking the idea of (1), but (2) (or
maybe (1) leading to (2)) might be closer to the reality?
Thanks,
Mike
