[Dev] Krugle demo - Thursday noon

[Philippe Bossut]

Hi,

Tomorrow Thursday noon, Ken Krugler will be making a demo of his search 
engine for programmers: Krugle. See the short presentation here under.

We reserved Whoville from noon to 1pm. For remote people, I don't think 
we'll be able to set up VNC from Ken's machine for this demo though.

Come in with your lunch and be ready to ask questions!

Cheers,
- Philippe

===================================================================
Krugle is a startup that Ken Krugler began working on in February, after 
getting exposed to the world of open source via 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.
