In a way, we’re getting used to be amazed by Apple news. The iPod, the iPod shuffle, the iPod Nano, the iPhone, the iPod touch, the MacBook Air and so on. The have also been showing some huge improvements in the software division, iTunes, Time Machine (my favorite) and more. Today I read an article about Apple’s newest file system called ZFS to be released on Snow Leopard.
I didn’t realize that NTFS is 20 years old already, and if you think about it, what are you using today from 1988?. Anyway, I like the comparison Harris does with Microsoft and GM.
I said it before… I was happily surprised by Microsoft Live Mesh, but let’s be honest, it’s not even close to releasing a brand new top of the line FS :(
What’s Microsoft doing about it?

Goomez started as a test. I wanted to create an application that given a server it could crawl all the shared folders of the server. So I stared googling around and I found it. There I was, with a program that could "know" the names of the shared folders on a server, but what could I do with that?
So I thought, "well, I could create a crawler to get info from the servers, save that data in a database and the query the tables if I want to know whether I file or program I'm looking for, is in fact, in any of my servers". So that's how Goomez was born.
It changed a bit after Milano's suggestion to use Lucene.net, but now Goomez is what we use at Artech when somebody wants to find a software installer.
Today I decided to make it public. It has no tricky license or anything like that, I created a space in Assembla Google Code so you can download the source code and do whatever you want with it. Also, you can upload some fixes or new features, I'll be approving the changes (at least for now) in case somebody breaks anything.
As I mentioned before, Assembla has a wiki and some other stuff that I plan to use like the tickets and files. (Edit: Google Code also has a wiki)
One more thing. This software is being released as is with a full "works on my machine" certification. 
Oh! I almost forgot... here's the link to the space. Enjoy!
EDIT: The Goomez project is no longer hosted in Assembla. We moved to Google Code at http://code.google.com/p/goomez
