I suggested getting mksearch.com / mksearch.org a while ago but
nobody seemed keen on this, so I guess we will use
mksearch.mkdoc.com but since this is a free software project perhaps
mksearch.mkdoc.org might make sense?

Good idea, why don't we set up mksearch.mkdoc.org as a MKDoc site
for this?

Of course we would need to set this email address up ;-)

Also we should check there terms jena is available under -- I was
just reading a thread here about the problem with GPL code using BSD
libraries...
