[KinoSearch] Roadmap .30 and Scorers

[Justin DeVuyst]

Hello,

I was playing around with indexing and searching CPAN with KinoSearch
recently myself.  Could you elaborate on what your plans are?  I'd
like to move on to something else if someone else is already doing
what I would like to see happen.

Basically my goal is to make searchable, in one place, everything
known about modules on the CPAN.  Whether KinoSearch can fit the
whole bill or just part of the bill I'm still not sure of.

Thanks,
jdv
