Anthony I too have used Lucene.Net with C# 2.0 to great effect. However, I am discussing the use of .Net 2.0 in the codebase itself; and, if not, the optimisation of the codebase for .Net in general.

I set up my lucene to a .net 2.0 framework, using VB and it works well in that environment. Anthony Ciaran Roarty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: George et al I have been using Lucene.Net in a proof-of-concept environment for the last couple of months - with my colleague Guy Steel - and we wanted to get involved in its development. I am a .NET developer for a large consultancy company and would like to get involved in making Lucene.Net more aligned to .NET and .NET 2/3 in particular. However, I am not sure if that is something which is initially planned for Lucene.Net. As I understand it, the majority of the conversion has been done, initially, using the Java Language Conversion Assistant. Some of the Java codebase uses patterns that are not best practice for .NET - such as using Exceptions for non-exceptional circumstances. This is not to denigrate Lucene.Net, it is one of the best pieces of software I have used. So, this email should be considered an introduction and a request to be allowed to get involved. I have never worked on an Open Source project before so I'll need some guidance but I am willing to learn. I do have a couple of questions to start with: - Is there a roadmap for the product? Is there a roadmap for Lucene that we will try and follow? - Is there a preferred version of the .NET Framework that it is planned to support? Enough for now, just wanted to introduce myself and get involved. Cheers, Ciaran
