Do you "serve" the index in any way shape or form or is that done via some 
other server or just put on a filesystem or whatever?

From what I understand there is a couple of bits. 

There is the job server part 
* schedules jobs to happen at certain times
* schedules jobs to happen in response to certain events

There is retrieval component 
* retrieves documents
* caches documents?
* converts documents?

And this all feeds into an indexer of some sort. That may or may not be 
exported via a webservice or something?

I can help some and the other Peter will also help so hopefully together we 
should be able to figure something out ;)
