I wouldn't call Nutch 0.7.x proof-of-concept. There are several production sites running it already:
http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/PublicServers Plus I think technorati is built on either Nutch and/or Lucene. That said, the doc could be better, and it's probably a good idea if you know Java since you might have to tweak the code a bit to get the exact behavior you want. If you don't have special needs, you could get something like a site search up in very little time. The newer versions seem to be changing a lot still though. I've been waiting for the dust to settle before I see if I want to upgrade. Howie
I think it is still very much at proof of concept stage. I think it is close, but as you have mentioned, the website Is severely out of date and the information and documentation on it lacks luster. I have tried to get the tutorial and faqs updated, but I haven't heard back. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Wilkie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 6:34 PM To: nutch-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: project vitality? Hi there, I'm new around here. The mailing lists seem to have a pretty steady stream of traffic but the website hasn't been updated since august, and there's only a handful of news items before that. What is the vitality of Nutch project? Is it basically a labority proof of concept or a mature ready for production product? thanks for your time, -- matt wilkie -------------------------------------------- Geographic Information, Information Management and Technology, Yukon Department of Environment 10 Burns Road * Whitehorse, Yukon * Y1A 4Y9 867-667-8133 Tel * 867-393-7003 Fax http://environmentyukon.gov.yk.ca/geomatics/ --------------------------------------------
