So are you interested in picking up the Google Summer of Code project? Are
you able to do so... e.g. are you a student and do you have time time for
this?

Currently the LinkRank implementation is contained within the core Nutch
code [0]. To answer your question, in short I don't know. That is why I
posted the GSoC project. So we could find out these types of things.

Start learning the Nutch code based and how the LinkRank algorithm works.
How scoring filters can extend the ScoringFilter extension point [1], etc.
Other examples of how this works can be seen in the tld plugin, and of
course the other scoring plugins available in trunk and 2.x branches.
We currently have some wiki pages dedicated to learning how to write
plugins for Nutch [2]. This is as good a starting point as any to get your
familiar with the plugin extension point mechanism.

Excellent.
