>
> Hi all,
>
> According to an earlier [DISCUSS] thread on the nutch-dev list I'm
> calling for a vote on the proposal to make Nutch a top-level project.
>
> To quickly recap the reasons and consequences of such move: the ASF
> board is concerned about the size and diversity of goals across various
> subprojects under the Lucene TLP, and suggests that each subproject
> should evaluate whether becoming its own TLP would better serve the
> project itself and the Lucene TLP.
>
> We discussed this issue and expressed opinions that ranged from
> positive
> (easier management, better exposure, better focus on the mission, not
> really dependent on Lucene development) to neutral (no significant
> reason, only political change) to moderately negative (increased admin
> work, decreased exposure).
>
> Therefore, the proposal is to separate Nutch from under Lucene TLP and
> form a top-level project with its own PMC, own svn and own site.
>
> Please indicate one of the following:
>
> [ ] +1 - yes, I vote for the proposal
> [ ] -1 - no, I vote against the proposal (because ...)
>
> (Please note that anyone in the Nutch community is invited to express
> their opinion, though only Nutch committers cast binding votes.)
