That sounds like a good plan.
Which raises the question, when should we make the 1.9 and 2.0 releases?
The plan for these is at:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/Lucene2Whiteboard
We should probably make these releases before we finish everything on that list. There have been a lot of good changes since 1.4.3 that would be nice to get into more folks hands.
Thoughts?
I'm all for a 1.9 release, let that stabilize and shake out any backwards compatible issues we may have missed, and then push out the 2.0 as planned with all the deprecated API removed. I'm using trunk for all my work, and many of the contrib components have been updated in trunk to the latest non-deprecated API - so someone using 1.4.3 wouldn't be able to use the spellchecker from trunk, for example.
I will bump the build refactorings up in priority so that we can have all the contrib pieces bundled in as well, including javadoc integration. I'll aim for the end of the coming weekend to have that in place.
