Disclaimer: I was a Flightfox expert. It was one of the best computer games I ever played and it occasionally paid me to play. (In a similar vein, Drupal development is the best MMO I could imagine -- the graphics surely leaves something to be desired but the social aspect is literally life changing and the quests keep you in flow.)
I am not sure whether flight search in a crowdsource format could or should arise again but Flightfox made the (deliberate?) blunder of revealing all expert email addresses to the other experts in an email announcing big changes coming on January 14. If this would be a bigger industry, that'd been quite some news... I know at least one person who is thinking on continuing -- thanks Flightfox for keeping the community alive.
Hey CHX, apologies for the blunder with the emails. It was an honest mistake of not BCC'ing and certainly not deliberate. As you saw, a handful of people replied to the whole group and talked about cloning our product, which wasn't really in our interests. We don't get worried about that stuff, we were just a little sad we messed up for you guys.

I honestly say I liked this. I would've agreed to disclosing my address to the others to keep the experts together.
