I think of the Nutch project as a marathon, not a sprint. Nutch's stated goals include:
* Scale to entire web - pages on millions of different servers - billions of pages * Support high traffic - thousands of searches per second * State-of-the-art search quality (see http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/Presentations) It's inspiring to see a project with such ambitious goals become a reality.
