Am I missing anything? I will be submitting later today (~6 hours from now) Apache Lucene.Net is a port of the Lucene search engine library, written in C# and targeted at .NET runtime users. == Summary == The PMC has recognized we have become stagnant and have not had a release in two years. We are actively working towards rebuilding and re-invigorating the community. - Cleaning up our PMC processes: - We realized several PMC members were not on the private mailing list - There was a typo in the moderation account for the mailing list that wasn't realized - We had a roll call, and everyone but a single member showed up (Simon) - We attempted to vote him off the island (go Emeritus). We were noticed that would require a board resolution or board action - so I'm asking the board to please give us the next steps for us to take - Working on our community / tooling: - We're actively brainstorming how to create better documentation around getting started with Lucene.Net as a developer, and getting invovled as a committer - With the help of our community members and some free licensing, we are in the process of setting up a CI system for our tests - We're looking at possibly pulling in questions from stackoverflow to the mailing list to expand visibility of those questions to the mailing list and hopefully spur conversation (SO questions look like 1 per 1-2 days or so at most) - Looking at a website refresh to go along with the documentation - Pushing hard on 4.8.0. - We were provided a contribution from MSFT over the summer of a significant code port of the 4.8.0 Java code. We have been working to clean that up. Currently we have 300 failing tests to fix, as well as some additional libraries that help users make the most of Lucene.Net (encoding codecs and contrib extensions) We could use any advice or assistance on the above to help us build / rebuild our community. == Releases == Working toward 4.8.0 == Statistics == Nuget package downloads: Lucene.Net 3.0.3: 106720 Lucene.Net Contrib 3.0.3: 29343 Lucene.Net Contrib Spatial: 3987 Lucene.Net Contrib Spatial.NTS: 980
