Hi Thorsten

Community building is precisely the reason why Droids should go through
the process of incubation. Several people (including myself) expressed
willingness to help with the incubation process, but this may not be
enough to ensure a tong term viability of Droids. Getting new people on
board is indeed the biggest issue.

Another concern is that HttpComponents may prove too constraining if you
envisage Droids being more than a framework for web (HTTP) crawlers. In
this case Lucene could be a better home for Droids. 

Cheers

Oleg
