What processes these files, and what assumptions does it make? Is this project related to "Sun i-Runbook" (maybe a replacement)? Is Lucene delivered in a way that others can use it? Should it be? It seems to me that the NetBeans IDE (LSARC 2007/370) already delivers Lucene. Why is another copy buried inside this project? Shouldn't there be just one common delivery of that feature to the system? > And then the indexes database is deployed on server (ideally > would be opensolaris.org or opensolaris.com), and exports webservices > interface for public access. Can users set up their own servers or is that a "Sun only" operation? I would expect that to be a hard requirement for many customers, as allowing direct Internet access from within a datacenter is still not possible in many places. > Then the client utility (in java) accesses > the webservices interface, to send user's queries and get the result.

That helps, but what case describes the rest of the project? Should this case be dependent on (or at least reference) the rest of the project? I still don't quite see how the proposed project is "obvious" enough to be a fast-track. Why not run a full case for it? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
