The project and community are "large" relative to most open source projects but "most" open source projects have fewer than 10 contributors. To get to the scale of, say, Mozilla or FreeBSD, it will require community governance, so any help with driving the technologies and/or people/processes forward. If you're an interested contributor, then you are a potential owner in the project. The community is at the wheel here -- we're just paying for gas.

Does DDG allow building things on top of it? Like API access to search queries, for example. I'm very much into building things for fun and DDG is my choice engine (on mobile and desktop).
Yes, there's an API available for many of the instant answers: https://duckduckgo.com/api Not all though, because of syndication restrictions from the original data providers.
Cool, thanks! I'm going to play with it if ya'll dont mind. :)
