+1 for more documentation and working examples. I've been monitoring this project for some time now, and tried several projects to see if I could use it .. unfortunately, I always run into the same dead end .. simply not knowing exactly what features are needed, what features are available and what features can be used to my advantage.
I also have frequently wondered why so much of this project is focussed on web-crawling. Yes, I know this was the original inspiration for the project, but tbh, a reusable task-oriented worker framework which can be used to achieve any task for which a worker can be written is equally useful... especially if it could have some sort of scheduling built-it. IMO, it would pay to make droids-core totally independent of any task-focussed implementation. At the moment, although its possible to write such a droid, it isn't exactly clear how to do so from what little examples there are around... the few examples concentrate solely on the integration of a web-crawler and the other technologies such as indexing. One of my efforts was to see if I could somehow merge Quartz and Droids to provide such a feature-set, with Quartz triggering a droid .. I got most of the work done, then ran into the 'what bit of Droids does this?' problem. So ... documentation and examples from someone who knows the droids framework a lot better than me, please .. pretty please?

However I think before discussing the semantic we should clarify the current concepts and provide a more accurate documentation with working examples.
