Nice article over at The Register outlining the story of Sphinx, the open source fulltext search engine powering craigs lists
as well as other high profile sites.
From the article:
'... the Apache Foundation, of course, widely known as a cruel experiment to see what happens when bureaucrats do open source.'
Full ACK.
