See here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sis/trunk/README.txt There are instructions in there on how to get SIS up and running and a demo. You interested in helping get that on the wiki? Also, our website sucks. Sorry to say, but it just does. We need an overhaul there but I have 0 graphics skillz. Any help there would be most welcome. > What this project really needs are some definite goals and milestones that we > can go by. I laid out my vision of them in: http://s.apache.org/sn so if you've got a different or similar vision, I'm all ears. I think it's consistent with what I've heard from you on the list so I think we're in unison. > What you suggested below is great but it needs to be laid out in the official > wiki, right? I assume the index of choice is going to be based on Lucene. That would be one of our targets, but also: 1. OODT File Manager (catalog) 2. PostGIS 3. HBase 4. Gora? 5. Elastic Search I bought HBase: the Definitive Guide, so that's on my current reading list, and I can personally take care of #1 and possibly #4 but I don't know enough about #2 or #5 (even though I did buy PostGIS in Action and plan on re-reading it at some point b/c it was a while back when I read the ebook). > There are options to this and @tlpinney has laid out the foundation for a > really fast, low-level index that can trump the inverted index.

It would be great if @tlpinney could join up here on sis-dev@ (or if he's already here great) and chime in on this. > > https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1486 Very cool. A module for SIS for elastic search would go a long way I think.
