Just for the record, we have put more than 800 man hours to set up the software infrastructure of a ODP based directory, and we are not even close to finish it.

Parsing and updating odp data is not that dificult, search engine optimization takes time, but is not a programatic intensive issue, is more like play a few minutes with the algo, launch the searching/indexing engine, and wait a few hours to see who good it is. But setting up a good editor/management subsysten, real time indexing procedures, and a peer review setup has turn out to be a real pain in the *ss!
