Nutch, an open source search engine

Mitch Kapor and Tim O'Reilly are among advisory board members of Nutch, a new open source search engine project which will try to:

fetch several billion pages per month
maintain an index of these pages
search that index up to 1000 times per second
provide very high quality search results
operate at minimal cost

Sounds good to me!

Gee, Joi, you're not on the advisory board yet? How did you let that one slip by? I think the number of advisory boards you're on has slipped down to the double digits, so you need to hustle. ;-)
