It's been pointed out to me that start.fedoraproject.org is in violation of Infrastructure's free software policy:

http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/csi/free-software-policy/en-US/html-...

In particular the "Proprietary Dependence" clause. Now, start.fp.o has existed long before the policy was put in place and a grandfather exception does exist.... but I thought I'd mention it. This could be an opportunity to completely re-think the start.fedoraproject.org home page. I know that upon its design there was some major things in the works but AFAIK most if not all of them fell through and that search engine link was all that was left.

Thoughts, comments?

This also affects the search feature on docs.fp.o. So if anyone has any suggestions for searching documents then I'm ears.

It's started and stopped several times since it's first request 2 years ago. It's been a surprisingly difficult project.
