I second Dan's suggestion. I use Lucene as part of a back-end indexing/data management system that has no web interface. I would be glad to add my company's name to the list of Lucene users.
From this, and from a few other messages I've recieved, it sounds like a page that lists users of Lucene with descriptions of how they use it would be a good thing. However I don't see the point of distinguishing this from the "Powered by Lucene" page.
So my proposal is:
1. Remove the requirement that an application must mention Lucene before it can be listed on the "Powered by Lucene" page. Replace it with a recommendation.
2. Change the formatting of the "Powered by Lucene" page so that each site can be accompanied by a description. The size of the index(es) used, amount of query traffic, frequency of index updated, deployment hardware, etc. would be great stuff to have, or as much as folks are willing to provide. Should we make this a table, or simply let sites reveal what they will in a paragraph? My hunch is that the latter will be more practical: different sites will be willing to reveal different things, and a table would thus be very sparsely filled.
Any objections?
Doug
