I can imagine that would be about as amusing as a lookup at googlism.com.
The issue with AUTOSUMMARIZE is that it's closed source, but I agree it can
serve as a 'proof of concept' case study. The method -- that is what
happens behind the scenes -- is not accessible and I loathe the idea of an
impending software patent, of which Microsoft has plenty lined up like
cannonballs. They begin to fear Linux too much so they try to 'shut the
doors' while they still can.
I am writing a formal 1-pager for Iuron at the moment. I hope I can put it
up later this morning.

The site has been getting quite a lot of visits, which have overwhelmed me
as surprising and had me set up a sourceforge project page yesterday. I am
now just waiting for the moderator's approval.
