Hello,
this would make two of us. We do also use Droids for an Internet (not
Intranet) crawler project and would agree to contribute reference
impelmentation and improvements to the API to fix some shortcomings of
the current version.
Right now I am ending up with overwriting many core classes to fix
issues with caching, proxy support, url acceptance / rejection vs.
filter chains and more. I would like to discuss if those changes would
make sense in the Droids-core or if they are supposed to be implemented
on top of the Droids API and reference crawler implementation. This has
a lot to do with the project philosophy and is not for me to decide.
So yes, I am offering my help - but Droids still needs an active project
maintainer role. Opening Jira tasks and committing patches won't do any
good until then and feels like wasted energy to me. Please correct me if
I am wrong.
Kind Regards,
Paul.

Hi,
In our company, we are using droids as a crawler for intranet and extranet
applications.
We are also highly interested in supporting the project.
But with the lack of community support by not answering questions on the
mailing list,
we recently did not even know, if the project is still alive.
