Hi Sean,

It's deployed on an Ubuntu server on Amazon EC2.  Just one server for
now, but designed to scale to more.  No RDBMS!

I'm not using any Amazon services besides EC2 and S3, but I'm looking
at SQS and SimpleDB.

Deployment was pretty easy; my only problems have been non-Clojure-
related.  For example, system properties set in Ant don't persist into
Log4j, so I have to use a shell script to launch the server.
Restlet's default logging doesn't match Apache's format, so making
AWStats work has been a hassle.

If you're interested in size:
There are ~870,000 documents on the site.
The Lucene/Solr index is ~6 GB.
The HTML content is ~4 GB, compressed.
99% of the pages are static HTML, pre-rendered in a Hadoop job.
