I'm a bit concerned that if people start to fork the whole project for
different kind of searches, it can get a bit out of hand. In fact, it
might turn into a nightmare for the security team. If the idea is to
have different GoSomething's available, maybe we could just take the
common part into a shared library and a common base package, or maybe
implement a tiny scripting thingie over GoPlay! to personalize it on
different kind of stuff.
Don't worry about not being able to code, I'm more concerned about the
overall design of the program right now. Coding itself, once you have
clear ideas about what you want to do, is quite straightforward.
