Hi Otis,
I had a feeling Pasha wouldn't be enthausiastic about continuing or supporting a open version of Lucene. Some guys have gathered around http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotlucene to continue the effort for the .NET port.
I started of with the 1.3-rc3-001 version (the last zip we had) and added some missing features and thought that I had completed the 1.3-final. It shows like we are missing some sorting code from the java version. Because we are new at maintaining this piece of code we still need to do some checking about the completeness of the software (and not only using the diffs of the java version to update the .NET port). But we will have a new version soon (the '1.3 final' compiles and runs all unit tests succesfully, files from the .jj files have been generated from the original .jj files to C#).
As you see, some work has been done, some more needs to be done. How about the idea of Doug to bring the lucene-related projects (as Lucene.Net) under the Jakarta umbrella ? I liked that one.
Yussef

Hello,
I've contacted Pasha (Lucene.Net developer) and while he said one could continue Lucene.Net development (code was released under ASL), he didn't show any interest in helping me locate the latest version of the sources. :(
I am now wondering if there is anyone on lucene-dev list interested in taking over Lucene.Net development? The latest sources are here: http://lucenedotnet.wz.cz/.
Otis P.S. Related blog entry from Aaron Johnson: http://cephas.net/blog/2004/09/21/conflicting_mindsets_of_c_vs_java_part_ii.html#000732 P.P.S. If nobody here is interested, I'll take this to lucene-user - larger audience.
