[Dev] Krugle demo Thursday at noon

[John Anderson]

Ken has offered to give a Krugle demo on Thursday at noon. Let me know 
if you're interested.

Krugle is a startup that Ken Krugler began working on in February, after 
getting exposed to the world of open source as a volunteer helping us 
plan  our internationalization strategy for Chandler.

It got funded in October, but is still in stealth mode until the DEMO 
conference in February.

Ken would like to do a quick demonstration this Thursday at lunch, and 
get your feedback on how it can become a killer product for developers.

Krugle is...

 * a search engine for programmers. It finds, indexes and searches open 
source code from repositories, archives, FTP sites and snippets on web 
pages. It also crawls and indexes the technical web - the 100M+ pages of 
most useful technical content for programmers.

 * a "just in time comprehension" tool. Rich search and the ability to 
browse code supports programmers working with open APIs, standards and 
components; they need to quickly gain sufficient knowledge to solve the 
current problem, and the next one, and the one after that.

 * a way to communicate about code. Code annotations/tagging, code URLs 
and "Codespaces" are new ways for developers and companies to share 
information about code and technical content.
