As I'm working on a really similar app for my college final project i got really interested in this plug in and grabbed it instantly to see what magic was behind this.
fetchSummary: function(doc) {// Extract the Plid
var plid = pluribo.extractPlid(doc);// Launch XHR to get Summary
But as of the above, theres not much to look at as all the magic happens server side. So you're right... A simple fx plug in wont do it. From their page: "Languages and software
Nearly all of our code is written in Python, a wonderful and elegant language. We use Boto to access AWS from python. Our NLP algorithms get help from NLTK, WordNet, and SciPy. Most of our servers run Ubuntu Linux. Our API is built with Django and Apache Lucene."
Which makes me happy as I'm also using most of this stuff, and so now I know I'm on the right path. Now if only I could get these guys to share some love...
Well, I actually did go back to slackware from ubuntu.
I just couldnt stand the bloat.
And I really dont know what you mean with "slackware or some other distro where hardly anything works" as my experience with slackware is the total oposite: everything I ever do simply works.
I dont have to warn developers of missing dependencies on their packages or handling some apps crash every once in a while.
Its a nice distro and all, but by no means the only or the best choice IMO.

syndaemon does just that, you should take a look.
