Atomz are hosting their engine themselves. Right, the idea was to have both available - a local newer updated search engine, and then also have links to atomz search. >>>To go next step, you should find strong supporter (committer) for your >>>search engine.

Actually, I really would not mind being in "CVSROOT/access" - I submit lots of PRs (for doc mostly) and have offered lots of help for keeping projects up to date, and web pages up to date also. Michael Lucas and I have even recently chatted about the help needed in the public relations/corporate liason area. Thanks Ceri and Jun for the help and direction on this..
