BTW, looking again at your proposal, I see that you are going to do both popularity tracking and backlinks.
Yes, another crawler gathers backlinks from the public WWW and I will start gathering the URL clicks from the users.
How are these two technologies going to interact with each other? That is, how will the indexer consider the output of those two features?
Django front-end re-sorts the answers from YaCy back-end.
See https://ahmia.fi/static/gsoc/re_sort.jpg
I have this idea in mind: https://ahmia.fi/static/gsoc/sorter.py
The result is sorted according to YaCy result index, number of backlinks and clicks which are scaled.
Note the scaling: p_info.backlinks = 1 / (float(index) + 1) etc.
sum_function = 3.0*self.yacy + 2.0*self.backlinks + 1.0*self.clicks
where 3, 2 and 1 are test coefficients. I will optimize these and made a better model if necessary. However, clicks are easily spoofed and there have to be small coefficient for them.
Also, with your newly acquired knowledge about backlinks, how long is it going to take your incorporate them in ahmia? Are you actually going to do it during the "Use an another crawler to search .onion pages from the public Internet" phase?
We can test it when popularity tracking and backlinks crawler are working.
