Anthony,
This sounds awesome.
Are you familiar with existing freedom boxes? I have one from last year, a guru server
plug (globalscaletechnologies.com). Doesn't do much but the wireless mesh. Would love
to add interesting new toys like what you describe (yeah, if I were a coder). If you'd
like to borrow and experiment with it, just let me know. It's just sitting on my shelf
holding some of my wishes.

On that point, I am most interested in setting it up
as a crawler (which ought not to have any privacy implications), and would only
secondarily introduce the option of using the indexing proxy for those specifically
interested in that.
Using the indexing proxy would certainly at least bias the YaCy index towards pages YaCy
users visit, which on the one hand is interesting as a subtle form of collaborative
filtering, and on the other hand reveals information about the aggregate browsing habits
of YaCy users in general at least.

Hell yeah! Double hellyeah! And another thing to put on CTel "freedom box"
home servers on the mesh.
I'd love to try this.

more;-)

YaCy is a free distributed search engine, built on principles of peer-to-peer (P2P)
networks. All YaCy-peers are equal and no central server exists. It can be run either in a
crawling mode or as a local proxy server, indexing web pages visited by the person running
YaCy on his or her computer. (Several mechanisms are provided to protect the user's
privacy.)
Access to the search functions is
given by a locally running web server which provides a search box to enter search terms,
and returns search results in a similar format to other popular search engines. Thoughts?
