I'd recommend writing a proposal on the wiki, and use that as the RFC for now. Once there's enough feedback, we can then incorporate it to and start working on getting Zend_Search_Lucene to follow it -- while you then work on Xapian support. It may also be that there's not enough similarities between how each does their work to make a common API -- and that will become clear as you get feedback on the proposal. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | [email protected] Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/
