As a relatively new Lucene user, I rather struggled through figuring out how to use it. Now that I have done so, and am in the process of using it to enhance an application I am working on, I would like to make the team an offer.
Many of the core classes (and likely other classes as well) have little or no JavaDoc comments, neither for the class itself, nor for its methods (though of course some do have useful comments). I propose to start writing these comments. It is something I am good at, and have much experience with. For me, it would be an excellent way to more fully explore Lucene's functionality (which I need to do anyway). Of course, it would help other users a lot. FYI, I have worked mostly in Java for some 15 years, and have used a number of open source packages. This would be my first experience contributing to an open source project. I have read the How to Contribute page, and both understand and agree. Please let me know how and when to proceed. In particular, do I get assigned a "buddy"?
