Source code search engines
Krugle (good branding here) gets a $6 million IPO for a source code search engine:
"Finding Code: Finding, evaluating and downloading the right code is a common developer task that consumes massive amounts of developer time. 'This process has difficulties because of the way software projects and components are currently accessed on the Internet', notes Ken Krugler, Krugle’s co-founder and CTO. 'While current search engines are OK at finding Web pages, they don’t crawl source code repositories, archives or knowledge bases, and they don’t leverage the inherent structure of code to support the types of searches programmers need'" (Source).
When will there be an open source annotated code repository for, let's say, Blg Software written in PHP?
