Re: [libreplanet-discuss] Common Search: a nonprofit search engine for the Web

[Sylvain Zimmer]

Hi Carl,

The project you refer to never actually existed. No one at Wikimedia is working on a general search engine for the web so there is no overlap :)

Best,

Hi!

I'm starting a new project that may be of interest to this list:
https://about.commonsearch.org/

I would love to have your feedbacks on the mission, the values and the
code/demo we already have online!

Wikimedia Foundation talked about doing something like that, called Knowledge Engine.
They already got

the first $250000 grant.  Any overlap with your project?
