I'm leaning towards a negative answer, unless we can come up with an efficient way fo doing this and a person who will do this. > 2) Should there still be a contributions page? Yes.

I'm for sticking it in Jakarta Commons Sandbox project. > 5) What is the release process for Lucene. That is what do the > different stages mean (alpha, beta, release candidate?)
