For the time being there is some documentation on the Nutch wiki regarding setting up Nutch with Gora and persisting the data to HBase. You may wish to have a look there is you are more familiar with Nutch. Regarding the newbie links for NoSQL... surely there is a power of material available. For example try going to HBase Cassandra Accumulo etc wiki's and learning about data models nd the difference NoSQL models offer to their relational cousins.
Please keep this thread active with your findings and if there is anything we can help out with for Gora then we will try our best. p.s GSoC applications have to be submitted for 6th April.
