Acknowledging the idea that we might have more than one removes the sting for me. > If people want to diverge in the implementation, fine.

As a *personal* example: *every* time I try to short-cut the process of setting up a project-specific index representing the KGS *for that project,* I end up getting burned by something. At this point, I don't even think about skipping the index setup, any more than I would skip setting up a VCS repository or mailing lists for the project.
