Can numeric support be added to the todo list? I realize that James Ricci and I are the only two that have requested it recently.... and maybe its an unreasonable request for lucene, due to its design and the amount of work it would take to implement it - which I'm willing to live with - but I haven't seen anything that points one way or the other as to why numeric support doesn't exist in lucene.
Thanks, Dan -----Original Message----- From: Otis Gospodnetic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 7:03 PM To: Lucene Developers List Subject: Re: cvs commit: jakarta-lucene TODO.txt I tried to dig out everything and anything from my Lucene email folder that looked interesting and useful. I tried finding list archive URLs for all items, so that people could easily see previous discussions or get to contributed code, instead of starting the brain-storming process from scratch. Not all items have references, but that may be improved later. As we implement/add things to Lucene we can remove items from this list, and as we get feature requests that seem popular and useful we can append them to the list. I just got sick of keeping all these emails, flagging them, and so on, and had to put this list of TO-DO items somewhere. I think others may find it useful, too.
