Hi, I would like to start working on resolving LUCENE-1488 (a contrib that integrates ICU for improved unicode support).
I propose the following: * Move the JDK-based CollationKeyFilter into core * Move ICUCollationKeyFilter and its icu dependency from contrib/collation to contrib/icu * later work on adding functionality from this patch to contrib/icu, so its all organized in one place with one icu jar. This way we would have I think most all relevant ICU functionality bundled together, and I think the JDK-based CollationKeyFilter is solid with solid docs, and a great scalable alternative to the other alternatives in core. Thoughts? -- Robert Muir rcm...@gmail.com
