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.)
