"Hopefully we will have the first stab of something that sucks up by the end of the year," he said. "And then we will start to revise, reconsider, rethink, delete, add, edit, change, until we start making something better and better over time. Will it take 2 years? 5 years? I dunno. It will take however long it takes. But it will be fun." -- Jimmy Wales about Search Wikia
