[Dev-flock] Search Status

[Lucy R Mendel]

Sean,

Word. Make sure to coordinate with Dan, since I think he's looked into 
text search, too.

I'm getting MySQL errors since I don't have mysql. I will get it, though.
I went to
   http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=22307
to check out the mysql-python stuff for MySQLdb.

I'd like to get things building again so I can see what's going on and 
make sure we're on track for Saturday.
Our main goal is for people to log on, navigate through the santa demo 
data set, and vote and write arguments. It looks like we're nearly there!

Tomorrow I'm presenting at an IDEAS dinner at MIT to rally support (and 
funding) for ThoughtAndMemory.

Keep it up!
Lucy.
