I think you meant "that WikiMedia

Let's arm Brion so he can storm Mountain View, CA, and demand access

If there's anything currently in Google which would seriously benefit WMF,
other than cash, it is likely that we could approach the right people and
get access to it. I know some midlevel people to start asking questions of;
Jimmy and others at the board level probably have more appropriate high
level contacts.
MapReduce doesn't seem relevant to the largescale MediaWIki deployment
problem. Is there any Google tech which anyone specifically thinks would
help? Or generalizing, is there any commercial or semi-commercial tech in
the world which would seriously help?
