Michael, Alessandro, thank you for the links and the summary. I appreciate the help.
Meanwhile, I also read up on the sent documents/pages, and yeah, I see it's based on donation of existing projects, and the financial aspects aside, the incubation process would seemingly require more capacity on my side that I can spare now. For now, I might put this project aside, but I'll see how I could host and release this under my GitHub account at first. (Without violating license terms, as the plugin's code base is still more than 90% the same as Luke's, as I simply reused its source code, so that I don't have to reimplement everything.) @Michael: I built the plugin .zip file. It is about 55MB due to having to bundle the dependent Lucene jars too. Is it ok if I share it on Google Drive and send you a link to it to your wyona email address?
