Looks good, I think.

But now that you don't have a "Search API" project, what are you going
to do during the Globaleaks integration?

Also, are you sure that 1-3 workdays are sufficient to design &
implement a banned domain synchronizer between tor2web and ahmia?

BTW, you are supposed to do your application in Google Melange, not
in this mailing list (although I'm happy you posted your app here so
that more people can comment on it!). The website is:
https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014
The deadline is in 4 days or so, I think.

PS: Nitpick but I should exercise my allergy to broken crypto and
    suggest to switch to a better hash algorithm (SHA256 or so)
    instead of MD5 for passing banned domain names around.
