Otis, Some time ago people on the list said that they are willing to at least maintain Nutch 0.7 branch. As a committer (not very active recently) I volunteered to commit patches when they appear - I do not have enough time at the moment to do active coding. I have created a 7.3 release in JIRA so we can start looking at it. So - we are ready and willing to move Nutch 0.7 forward but it looks like there is no interest at the moment. Regards Piotr
