I don't see any reason why not. Enthusiasm and interest is probably the most important qualification for contributing (assuming you are a competent programmer.) Lucene is a great project because the architecture is so clean and simple, its easy to understand immediately. There are a bunch of new subprojects going on in this group -- crawlers, indexing of various file types (Word, PDF, HTML/XML, etc) which I'm sure could use contributions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
