Hi Markus,
If one committer is willing to maintain something and use it that's probably
good enough. I'm not saying it's going to be me (b/c something is done when
it's actually done and produced and I haven't produced it yet :) ), but I'm at
least going to try. Plus if one of the members of the Nutch community is
willing to put it together I'll sign up to help it get committed to the
sources.
Note the Nutch 1.4+ UI could simply be an extension of the Solr
VelocityResponseWriter if that makes sense. No problem there from me. What I
kind of *do* have a problem with is that we removed existing functionality that
has been present for all prior Nutch releases and our alternative is telling
someone to go figure out another software product and how to whip up a UI for
it, and in doing so we're telling people to not develop UI stuff in Nutch and
splintering that part of our community. That probably wasn't the best idea. I
mentioned this when it was happening, but because I didn't have time to provide
an alternative, I didn't stand in the way for it to block the progress at the
time.
Cheers,
Chris
