Tell us your gnizr success stories

Recently, FishEye shows the total number of line-count of gnizr open source has passed 100,000. Since we have open-sourced gnizr, the traffic to our Google Code project and blog sites continue to increase in a healthy pace. We are very happy about this.

While we can use automated tools to track visitor traffics, but we didn't have a good way to receive and monitor feedbacks from our users. Today a new Wiki page has been created on the Google Code project site to report and receive community feedbacks. This new page called "Success Stories" will publish short descriptions of how users from diverse industries and organizations are using gnizr to facilitate information sharing and improve people's productivity. On the same page, you can find the email address to which you can send your suggestions and feedbacks.

I wrote the first story about my experience in using gnizr to teach the Social Web Technologies course at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Hi Harry, this is exciting that you are behind gnizr. I am writing about web 2.0 and web 3.0 at the moment and have been following semantic development for several years. One port of call has been your Phd at Maryland, which, yes, I do have installed locally! Actually your Phd is very interesting as a teaching starting point. It is a very fascinating mix of reasoning using Prolog and ontology and rule base consumption. It would be interesting to discuss this a bit with you. Generally I have found it very difficult to find examples of the use of reasoning. This is a bit of a failing on my part, and a bit of a failing that there are not more clear use cases!
My question about gnizr, though, is why are you using lucene rather than the google desk top indexing agent? I am not suggesting it is possible to use the google agent, but just wondering?
BTW are you back full time at UMBC?
Now I'm going to download gnizr!

Great idea, but is anyone using it? I can't find any public demos.
