I am e-mailed almost daily about tackling Lucene consulting gigs, and I simply do not make the time to even give the time of day what with kids, day job, daydreaming about eventually getting LIA2 done, and did I mention kids?. Kids rock! I typically refer folks to Otis, and he likely says the same things. But, I also point everyone to this page:

        <http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/Support>

If you are a Lucene savvy consultant, or perhaps someone stuck in DilbertLand with a bit of Lucene under your belt, who knows how to write a custom Analyzer, knows what term vectors are, can easily troubleshoot user-interface to Query issues, and knows how to ask good questions on this list and read the articles and books (heh!) on the subject you too could be scoring Lucene work out there, both big and small. I'll not even go out on limb to say this, Solr is an integration piece that makes using Java Lucene from *any* language/ environment trivial. And Solr is much more than Java Lucene features, it's caching and schema smarts, replication, filtering, with the brains of Yonik and Hoss behind it.

Open source works best when there is business behind it, at least to build solid scalable stuff. Make yourself known with a link to your contact info on that Support page. I could practically guarantee that you'd be contacted within a year or less.
