Hi Rida, I've been talking with Jukka Zitting (involved in Nutch) about parsing/Tika and we started to sketch out some project objectives on the Wiki over there which may be of interest: http://code.google.com/p/tika/w/list
I recently did a round-up of the main open source projects which maintain their own custom document parsing framework and counted over 17. There was a fair mix of approaches and parser choices but a lot of commonality suggesting a common project is possible/useful. The above WIKI sketchings were an attempt to outline the requirements for such a common project and also were questioning where best to host this. >>Tika is a really good projet and I'm really interested to join it. I suspect one of the main differences between Lius and Tika's current objectives is that Tika aims to be independent of any application which consumes the parsed data (e.g. not tied to Lucene indexing classes). That said, I don't imagine it is too hard to decouple Lius's parser logic from it's indexing logic.

I will add lius as lucene contrib and I will change the licence to ASL. There are some developper contributing to Lius but there are not very active. For the question : this is a Laval University project, right? But you work at DocuLibre? I have develpped lius during my study at laval university, I still the copy right owner for this projet, so I can change the licence to ASL without any problem. Lius has been used in serveral projet at Laval university and I deceded to hoste it in Laval. I work at Laval and at Doculibre. Tika is a really good projet and I'm really interested to join it. Regards.
