Michael:
Not exactly sure what you're asking for, but I would be happy to donate a
bunch of servers (make that souped up desktops)

Subject: [Nutch-dev] Starting a non-profit organisation running Nutch with a
thousand or more sponsored servers
Hi
I was recently thinking that it would be fun to start a non-profit
organization in order to run Nutch as a really "transparent and open" search
engine, very similar as for instance Google, but really focusing only on the
search.
Thanks to all Nutch devs the software is there or it's getting there, but it
would be a nice challenge to get the infrastructure founded on a non-profit
basis, whereas I can only talk for myself and I would be happy to provide a
dedicated root server and appropriate bandwidth (whatever that means). And I
am sure there would be many others in order to challenge for instance
Google. A 1000 servers is quite a lot of money, but one server is affordable
by all kind of people and companies.
I am aware that servers is not the only thing, but I would be interested
what the community thinks about such an "infrastructure" project.
Thanks
Michi

thanks very much for the offer. I will make a note
and if the Nutch community doesn't mind then I would like
to start a Wiki page on this to gather information and the
various opinions.
To be honest, I am bit skeptical myself about this, but I think
it's worth a try anyway.
Thanks
Michi
