There's also the option of helping to finish DASL.  There are other  
people willing to put some work into this, and it's starting from a  
great point as there are already even interoperable implementations  
(Xythos, SAP). Some finer questions in order:
	- Does DASL solve any needs for Cosmo, Chandler or both together:  
are there imminent use cases for search (remembering that a client  
capable of doing off-line synch is usually better off doing its own  
searches as long as the search scope is its own offline corpus)
	- Does DASL solve any of the prior needs as-is, unstandardized but  
interoperable and documented and reasonably well-thought-out
	- Would DASL would solve additional needs or solve them more  
completely if it were an RFC, and if so, how much investment would  
that be worth
