Bang for the buck is one concern. I am more interested in improving
Google Scholar so that it becomes inherently better than the fee-based
services. I am sure a number of experts who are "open source minded"
will be ready to help, but will Google be ready to accept the help and
improve this particular service? Long ago I wrote to them but nothing
much happened.
