Hi, I am not sure how to move forward, but it was suggested I post on this page. We initially proposed this project on Village pump (idea lab) The proposal generated a good amount of activity with some very positive feedback, but lead to no conclusion or direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(extract from Village pump (idea lab))

Provide a Wikipedia search service that indexes Wikipedia data semantically, based on sentence structure; subject, subject complement, or direct object, etc. versus just key words. Recognize information that is not directly communicated by the author, by relating acronyms, abbreviations, and compound nouns to appropriate subject matter within an article. Results will be ordered and prioritized by the strength of the correlation of search term to the sentences returned. Results will provide full sentences where possible, with deep links to those sentences, making it possible for users to jump directly to those sentences of interest. Such a tool will improve the search experience within Wikipedia and increase the value of the Wikipedia data. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

See a demo at www.wikisandy.org

Thanks.

Thomas

Thanks, Thomas. What is your question? :) Phabricator offers a place to plan and manage existing code & non-code projects. If you have a code project related to WikiSandy its code could potentially be hosted in Wikimedia Git/Gerrit and its development tasks could be managed in Wikimedia Phabricator. But it's unclear to me what you'd like to have help with...

Thanks for your reply. We are a small startup that is looking to offer a radical shift in search technology, which at this time is hosted our infrastructure. We have received very positive feedback, and encouragement, but like I said no conclusion or direction, on how to move forward. We are looking for for evaluation and potential adoption

If you could point us in the right direction? If there is a direction?

Thanks

Direction for what? Again, I do not know what your actual question is. Can you be more explicit please?
