Hi all,
I would like to request a new lab called: Droids.
Droids aims to be an intelligent standalone crawl framework that
automatically seeks out relevant online information based on the user's
specifications. The core should be a simple crawler which could be
easily extended by plugins. So if a project/app needs special processing
for a crawled url one could write a plugin to implement the
functionality.
The background of this work is that Cocoon trunk does not provide a
crawler anymore and Forrest is based on it, meaning we cannot update
anymore till we found a crawler replacement. Getting more involved in
Solr and Nutch I see request for a generic standalone crawler.
Please do not hesitate to ask further questions about the project.
