<p>
This document describes the list of tasks on the plates of the Lucene development team. Tasks are assigned into two categories: core or non-core.
</p>
</section>
<section name="About Core vs. Non-Core Development">
<p>
Currently the Lucene development team is working on categorizing change requests into <b>core</b> and <b>non-core</b>
changes.
</p>
<p>
Core changes would entail a change to the search engine core itself. From Doug Cutting:
<blockquote><i>
"Examples include: file locking to make things multi-process safe; adding an API for boosting individual documents and fields values; making the scoring API extensible and public; etc."
</i></blockquote>
</p>
<p>
Non-core changes would not affect the search engine itself, but would consist instead of projects or components that would make useful
additions to the core framework. Again, from Doug Cutting:
<blockquote><i>
"[Examples] include: support for more languages; query parsers; database storage; crawlers, etc. Whether these belong in the base distribution is a matter of debate (sometimes hot). My rule of thumb for including them is their generality: if they are likely to be useful to a large proportion of Lucene users then they should probably go in the base distribution. Language support in particular is tricky. Perhaps we should migrate to a model where the base distribution includes no analyzers, and supply separate language packages."
</i></blockquote>
</p>
<p>
Change requests will be categorically defined by the development team (committers) as core or non-core, and a committer will be assigned responsibility for
coordinating development of the change request. All change requests should be submitted to one of the Lucene mailing lists, or through
the <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/";>Apache Bugzilla</a> database.
