I started http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/labs/droids/trunk/README.TXT a while ago but just finished a rewrite of it. "What is this? ------------- Droids aims to be an intelligent standalone robot framework that allows to create robots as plugins, which can automatically seeks out relevant online information based on the user's specifications. For the core I took formally nutch, ripped out and modified the awesome plugin/extension framework. Anyhow this version will not be based on this framework but using Spring instead. The main reason is that Spring has become a standard. Droids makes it very easy to extend robots or write a new one. Why was it created? ------------------- Mainly because of personal curiosity: 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.

Since I just finished a basic crawler I will have a look whether I can start to write a cocoon-cli droid. I reckon I just need some wrapper classes to attack the old cli. ...but as Carsten points out any help welcome. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
