Hello Nutch,

My name is Renaud Richardet and I am the COO of Wyona LLC.  We are 
offering Nutch and Lucene support (http://wyona.com/lucene.html), and 
I was wondering if I could add our company to 
http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/Support. That would be great.


Certainly, you can add a short note about your company on the support 
page. It's a Wiki, so you can just create an account, log in, and edit 
this page (please use the preview button to check the changes before 
saving).

The funny thing about that wiki page (and some others in that area) is 
that they apparently use the nofollow tags.  Given the topic of that 
wiki, isn't that a bit odd?  I personally dislike the nofollow tag and 
think it should be used only in extreme circumstances (i.e. here's a 
link to a site you absolutely don't want to visit).  I believe in this 
case however it's simply being used so that sites that are listed don't 
get any pagerank/weight/whatever passed to them from an authority site.  
A really bizarre policy for a search related site IMO.


Swinging back on topic, does nutch obey the nofollow tags?

I think it's a default setting for the Wiki, which nobody bothered to 
change...

Well so much for knee-jerk suspicions as to intent.  No need to look for 
conspiracy theories when default settings are more likely to be the 
cause.  That should probably a corollary to occam's razor or something :).
