What I'm unclear on is whether students their own public domain search engine. My suggestion is that it's best to collaborate on a single effective search engine. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 08:21, 18 February 2008 (EST)

I left this note on the article page:

Note: This project is currently inactive (information based on email communications). To help build a public domain search engine, see Appropedia's Public Domain Search.
