Ciaran,
The only active contributor to the project is George Aroush and perhaps
he is the only person who will give you the most definite answer.
I am also interested only in Net2/3 codebase . Currently vesion 2.0.4
still uses VS 2003 projects and my main concern are warning messages
about deprecated and obsolete methods when compiled under Net2.
Supposedly it 'll be fixed in 2.1
Also Java Lucene is more mature project with a lot of people involved
and it would be safer to crosstranslate new things from there taking
into consideration .Net specifics.
From other hand in my case if Lucene will be part of a project where
all warning messages considered to be the errors which must be
eliminated , it it beyond my competency what can be done to achieve
that. ( JavaCC generated code crosstranslation creates a lot of them )

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

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
