I did not need another sign to know DQSD was in trouble but no response to my post shows that. We need to do something to keep dqsd alive, the reality is it's slowly dying even though many of us still use it daily.

There are problems which need to be addressed, such as the load time when a new google is done, which is often a lot slower that doing a search in the google bar in the open browser. I still get the startup IE error. Shawn has suggested other things in the past which would improve things: http://bit.ly/shawndqsd and http://bit.ly/shawnxml

Some other ideas to continue the brainstorming:
 - turn dqsd.net into a wiki
 - add a proposed new feature section (such as linking one "search" to different a browser, floating toolbar, Logins with authentication code, etc) and let people vote like on http://digsbies.org/site/wishlist
 - add a blog

Lots of people out there work on open source software, dqsd needs more exposure to get more users for that to happen. We can start that by linking up the buzz we already have, e.g. adding links to posts such as David Blume's http://dblume.livejournal.com/65402.html

Hi,

Does anyone know who runs/has control over dqsd.net? Is the domain still 
David Bau's?

I am wondering as I would like to make a change on the 
http://www.dqsd.net/contrib/ since a domain of mine listed there has 
changed and will be expired in less than 30 days.

I am not a member of the -devel list so am just emailing this user list.

Maybe the access could be opened up and we could update the site?

Thanks, Tom.
