It's much harder to work with the data if you don't have the code. SO is not open source.

That's kind of cool, thanks. How long does it take to do a web scrape versus a DB dump?

IMO it would be more interesting to not use their code and build some kind of specialized search service. One that learns to rank results from user metrics and feedback?

so like personalised google search, with the terrible results that that inevitably produces for code related content?

i am confused though. how do you think SO currently works? Both questions and answers are already ranked via user metrics (individual upvotes and historical upvotes) and feedback (comments)?
