For all those drupal guys out there, there is a barcamp style event on
Sunday, May 18th, 2008 from 9am-5pm, followed by a social dinner at a
nearby pub. We will have room for presentations, discussions, and
hacking at a computer room at the University of Sydney, Faculty of Pharmacy.

hi all,
I know this is not a 100% linux related question but it's open source baby :-)
On our company network we have a daily growing number of documents in lots of folders and stuff. Most of it is organised in

I've heard of the various desktop search engines like beagle, tracker and
google desktop but are there open source engines which can be run on a
server so that many can connect to it and search?
AFAIK Beagle and Tracker are free software.
If you're talking a network shared drive, then something simple like htdig
gets you most of the way there. You can either crawl the disk like
locate(8) does, or crawl the intranet webserver if that's how you're
accessing your docs, then you call the hdig CGI and get back your results.
Cheap,

I index my server's disks using htdig. There are backends for .PDF
.DOC, OpenDocument and so on and it's not at all difficult to add
support for other file formats (basically you write a

Hello all,
Richard here - been lurking for a while, first post.
Seb,
If you only have a few users to deal with then I concur with the Rev,
Google Desktop is a great solution; it's simple and it will meet your
users needs. There are alternatives, I actually use one called
Copernic Desktop myself
Nutch is OK - but IMHO not really that polished, if you really want
FOSS, take a look at some of the suggestions above first.
