I'd rather make it more explicit that the standard Nutch (1.x) and >Nutch-GORA (2.x) are two separate beasts for instance by referring to 2.x >as Nutch-GORA in the artifacts we > release.

Was Apache Tomcat 6 superior to Apache Tomcat 5? No, it had nothing to do with it - they were completely separate architectures. Heck Apache Tomcat 7 was a place where some of the architectural concepts from 5 and 6 met in the middle - that's precisely what I am proposing here. We've just completed the development line of the 1.x series by releasing 1.9. 2.x is still going. They each do different things - 1.x is more scalable. 2.x has more flexibility but is harder to install. It's not about one being superior to one another. > > > >Changing to 3.x would imply a major change of architecture or >functionality, which certainly won't be the case for the next release of >the trunk. Not really - all it would imply is the end of the 1.x branch-line, without merging into the 2.x branch line. >When users ask "what is the difference between 3.x and 1.x?" we'd have to >answer "not much", and more importantly > when asked "what is the difference between 3.x and 2.x?" we'd reply >"same as between 1.x and 2.x" ;-) Changing the name of the artefacts >would clarify things. So what? Answering user questions from time to time is not a huge deal. I answer them from my students all the time in teaching them Apache Nutch in my search engines class, or more recently with the JPL folks deploying it for our internal CIO search. > > >This reminds me that our FAQ does not really answer these questions (and >other basic ones), will post about this separately. Well if you are -1 on the renaming to 3.x, we'll have to figure something out. I'm -1 on renaming the artifacts to Nutch-Gora - so maybe what we need is a ballot with a few options and we can put it to a VOTE for the committee. I'll wait a few days to let this settle before calling such a VOTE.
