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 Sudhi

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/. > 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.
