Remove web gui from the distribution to "contrib" and use OpenSearch Servlet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: NUTCH-155
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-155
     Project: Nutch
        Type: Wish
  Components: web gui  
    Versions: 0.8-dev    
    Reporter: nutch.newbie


Web gui JSP search pages should be moved to a contrib folder.  It would be 
better to focus on OpenSearch Servlet based XML results. For example in the 
current tutorial at -
http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/tutorial.html under the searching section one 
could imagine to add a script OpenSearch. (i.e. >>bin/nutch OpenSearch "search 
term"--> Bingo XML results. ) 

Therefore I suggest - It is better that web gui moves to contrib. I also forsee 
posting PHP or Perl, Ruby, XSLT or other language based GUI being developed and 
have it under the contrib as an addition to JSP pages. 

- Current implementation focuses on JSP pages, tomcat, etc. has nothing to do 
with Nutch. But has everything to do with How Nutch needs to be deployed. And 
to my mind Nutch can be deployed in many ways. So why just JSP and tomcat will 
get the core attention.

The above wish is not new, I have seen others in Jira having similler thinking. 
Furthermore Nutch is becoming big in size, the plugins are also growing it 
would be good idea to have a contrib directory just like Lucene. Some of the 
plugin could also move there. Plugins like clustering, ontology (i.e. not 
required for basic indexing/searching) etc are not given that it should be part 
of the distribution. The point I try to make here is its up to the search 
engine operator to download the plugins rather then everyone gets 
"everything.tar" model.

Above is still a wish :-)
