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?
Cheers,
Tamás

Hi Balog,
first of all, thanks, I think it's a cool idea!
In regards to giving it to the Apache Software Foundation, it works as a
donation:
you assign a permissive license (Apache) and contribute it as a Lucene
module (most likely, like it happened with Luke) or a separate project
(unlikely to deserve a separate one as Luke has been donated itself to
Lucene).
This won't happen automatically, you'll need to <convince> a Lucene
committer it's good code and a good idea and have it merged one day.
You won't get any money, but if you continue contributing, you may become
an Apache Lucene committer one day.
Also, that won't give you any money, it's rather the opposite, it's
volunteering work.
Given that, there are other ways of making money out of a contribution:
- a company becomes interested in such a contribution and pays you to
maintain it
- companies start using that part of Lucene and ask the creator to do
some
consulting
As a personal recommendation, If you are a freelancer and need money I
wouldn't suggest pursuing this activity as a quick revenue channel
(because
it's unlikely you'll see any money anytime soon), do it if you want to
donate and benefit the broader community (i.e. you get the money from
other
projects)
Hope it helps,
Cheers

Hi Michael,
Not at the moment, but I can share privately a built plugin archive (a
.zip file) that one can install manually.
If the plugin looks suitable, I think the best place for it would be
under
the Apache GitHub organization, and my question is, are you someone
who can
help with that?
Also, although, I don't want to jump ahead too much, since I work as a
freelancer, I have to prioritize what projects I work on. Thus, I must
ask,
if this project got under the Apache umbrella, would there be a chance
of
receiveing a financial compensation for this work (maybe under some
kind of
contract) and potential longer-term maintenance?
Best regards,
Tamás

Hi Tamas
Can one download your plugin somewhere to test it?
Thanks
Michael

Hello everyone!
I've been working on a proof of concept of creating an IntelliJ
plugin
from the Luke application and it reached a demoable state.
If anyone of the Lucene core maintainers, team leads, etc. is
interested, I'd be glad to demonstrate it and discuss a potential
future
for the plugin. In that case please let me know who and where I
could
contact directly.
Or, if I'm at the wrong place for such a topic, please point me to
the
right direction. :)
Cheers,
Tamás Balog
