Lucene: A Tacit Admission of Fail? : ob.blog

If ob.blog gave this post a moment of thought before sharing it with the world, he would quickly realize that hosting a live, 24/7, high traffic site takes more than just some code that one can execute. Perhaps ob.blog is volunteering to donate computing resources, support staff, etc. so that we can host Nutch or Lucene at Apache instead of using Google? After all, it is a VOLUNTEER project, and for that matter, the ASF (Apache Software Foundation) is an all VOLUNTEER organization. Speaking for myself, I’d love to see someone donate the necessary resources and time to the ASF to do this. In the meantime, Google provides this for free.
