Grant, No actual donation was made since no one ever responded to my messages. I wanted to shape the Orev application up before submitting it to the project, so I asked for your and others' help. Unfortunately I never got even a single response.
All sources were already released under the ASL back then: https://github.com/synhershko/Orev I set it up on my personal server and emailed a few of you with a link to an early access, so we can test it and perfect it, without requiring you to install anything anywhere. I will not go into the trouble of making a patch when clearly there's no interest in this project. Hence my reply to Simon's report. I honestly think this could be a great project to advance open TR and Lucene, and we already have sort of a roadmap, but unless there's any interest we won't get anywhere... Itamar.
