> Here's a report proposal: > > ManifoldCF > > --Description-- > > ManifoldCF is an incremental crawler framework and set of connectors > designed to pull documents from various kinds of repositories into > search engine indexes or other targets. The current bevy of repository > connectors includes Documentum (EMC), FileNet (IBM), LiveLink > (OpenText), Meridio (Autonomy), SharePoint (Microsoft), JDBC, CIFS > file systems, CMIS repositories, RSS feeds, and web content. Output > support includes Solr, MetaCarta GTS, and OpenSearchServer. > ManifoldCF also provides components for individual document security > within a target search engine, so that repository security access > conventions can be enforced in the search results. > > ManifoldCF has been in incubation since January, 2010. It was > originally a planned subproject of Lucene but is now a likely > top-level project. > > --A list of the three most important issues to address in the move > towards graduation-- > > 1.
