Frankly, I started to watch closely on the Search Wikia, Wikipedia and Wikia co-founder Jimmy Wales’ newest project since last week, after Wikia purchased the Grub Web crawler engine. The Grub Web crawler tool has since then released under open source license the first time in four years.

No doubt, Wales advocated the open source is the business model of the future and he was in the middle of building a great open search engine. However, we must understand a fact that it’s a long term project, maybe last for more than five years. According to Wales, “As to the pace, I can only advise people to have a bit of patience!…… Hopefully we will have the first stab of something that sucks up by the end of the year. And then we will start to revise, reconsider, rethink, delete, add, edit, change, until we start making something better and better over time. Will it take 2 years? 5 years? I dunno. It will take however long it takes. But it will be fun.”
