Mattmann, I think a bare bones demo would be extremely valuable. I can get the how-to docs up to snuff once there is a good baseline core in trunk. What this project really needs are some definite goals and milestones that we can go by. What you suggested below is great but it needs to be laid out in the official wiki, right? I assume the index of choice is going to be based on Lucene. There are options to this and @tlpinney has laid out the foundation for a really fast, low-level index that can trump the inverted index. ElasticSearch also has some promising spatial capabilities. See below.
