Heh. we actually tried that, got a GSoC summer student who
we'd hoped would work with both the Wacky group, and with
the wikimedia/nutch/lucene to build a distributed web crawler
that would keep a corpus up-to-date (and as input fodder
to improve search, thus the connection to the search engine
folks) Unfortunately, he wasn't closely supervised and wandered
off in a less useful direction.
