It stands to reason that if the documentation lacks "luster" the project
must be dead! Seriously, this is an active project. It is not yet 1.0,
so don't expect polish. If it doesn't look easily usable to you then
perhaps it is not. It's still for early adopters.
The commit list shows a fair amount of activity:

Lots of public sites are using Nutch. Some are listed at
http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/PublicServers, but many are not, like
http://search.bittorrent.com/.
I have tried
to get the tutorial and faqs updated, but I haven't heard back.
This is an all-volunteer project. If you find a bug, please file a bug
report, so that other folks are aware of it. Better yet, if you have a
solution or improvement, please construct a patch file (even for
documentation) and attach it to a bug report. On the wiki, anyone can
make themselves an account and update documentation. We don't boss
folks around here, or complain. We pitch in and help.
