An Overview
It is a combined search engine.
Is searches aggregated local database (fast!), then spawns a bunch of in-page ajax requests to retreive more results from other participating search engines (comprehensive!).
We might need to include a MediaWiki as well, for a more curated, culture.si like experience. Could and should probably include croudsourcing (users putting stuff onto wiki). Might need some kind of account management / single sign on stuff.
Infobox data for slo version could be fetched from RDF database, generated from curated eng version.
See: WordNik, That other site?
Imperatives
- Slovenian language is primary
- More useful than Google for research, etc
- First results must be fast (less than 5 seconds)
Initial Data Sources
Choose a reasonable set!
- culture.si (eng?)
- kultura.si (must have wiki)
- sl.wikipedia.org
- cobiss
- sigledal
- kulturnik

Details, details, details
Tech Note: each search engine will probably need a special gateway, accesible on a separate URL. This should keep the implementation mess down.
Open Issues
Probably lots...
