It's pretty successful now with over 100,000 unique visitors a month (population 4 million in NZ!) and an active community.

The code for searching the data is lucene/solr based, so there is already a good open source solution for that. If we happen to develop something interesting along the way for working with this we would release it, but this isn't our focus. Some of the tools that we develop for managing, backing up and editing the data may also open sourced. Edit: I should also add that there hasn't been any activity on this project for a few months, but hope to get back to it in the fall.

Is the code going to be open-sourced, or is it just the data? Or perhaps neither - maybe the 'open' means something else? -- Jason I’m interested in knowing more about this open business directory.
