>A group of programmers were working on the search engine in anticipation of a possible CD version of the website. But when I postponed the CD until next year, the search engine project went on hold. There are also a lot of technical hurdles still to overcome, not the least of which were some compatibility issues with different browsers. Recently, one of the programmers proposed developing an off-line search plugin for the increasingly popular Firefox web browser. This seems like an excellent approach. But he won't be able to work on it until this fall.

>So there are currently several people who are interested and involved in the search engine project; it's just a question of them finding the time to work on it. If you know someone would be interested in working on it, that would be wonderful. To avoid re-inventing the wheel, however, it might be a good idea for him or her to compare notes with the other programmers first. One way to do this would be through an on-line "forum". As it so happens, I'm currently testing out some conferencing software for visitors who have various kinds of technical expertise to collaborate on ATI-related projects (such as the off-line search engine). That may be the best place for all the programmers to "meet" and exchange ideas. I'll post an announcement on the "What's New" page as soon as the conference is up and running -- probably sometime in the next two weeks.
