If George is putting up his boots, who's going to be the project lead?

Some of you have uploaded patches to JIRA that have been incorporated into the Lucene.Net source, and if you have done so and are interested in being a committer please email me off list so I can add you to the list of proposed committers. We have a few people here that are working on our port of 2.3 and will likely be considered to be committers, but we need diversity in those ranks rather than having all come from one group. Having only one committer currently has proved to be a bottleneck in advancing the project. On a side note, our port of 2.3 is progressing nicely and we will be making it available once it is complete. Our initial goal is to get 2.3 released, then begin internal optimizations for the .net platform. Your comments are welcomed and appreciated! Thanks, Michael Garski
