I could not agree with Doug more. This is one of the best.. am trying UIMA 
too... though UIMA also uses Lucene...as of today, it is still a framework and 
community in early stages..
   
  In fact the nightly builds has good improvements than 0.71.
  Any serious user or adopter should be trying with a snapshot of nightly 
build..
   
  Doug, 
  It  would be better, if there is official 0.8 release or atleast a RC.
  before major releasing 1.0. I am newbie, so let me know about ideas on 
releasing 0.8.
   
  Thanks

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:

http://www.mail-archive.com/nutch-commits%40lucene.apache.org/maillist.html

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/.

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.

Doug
