I have created #lucene-dev on freenode:

        irc://freenode/lucene-dev

The channel is logged, with an archive here:

        http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_logs/lucene-dev

I would like for #lucene-dev to be a place where people can have zero-latency 
on-the-record discussions about Lucene and Solr development.  I invite all 
#lucene participants to say howdy to Big Brother over at #lucene-dev.

A month ago, I was on the fence about whether or not this was a good idea.  
People expressed both negative and positive opinions.  (Not the same people.  
You know, *different* people.  Evidence of bipolar disorders was significantly 
below detectable levels.  Yes.)

Lucene/Solr development pace has increased dramatically recently, thanks in no 
small part, I believe, to forums like #lucene.  I think that's great.  

What I think is not so great is that people who don't have the time to hang out 
on #lucene 24-7 (like me) have zero visibility on very substantial 
technically-focused discussions about the design and implementation of Lucene.

Steve
