Hi George, it would be nice to help the development. The first question I would ask is whether the development of Lucene.Net has to be a 1:1 port of Lucene. I find it very good in some situations (documentation, compatibility) and very bad in others (doesn't take advantage of any .NET/C# features).

I'm glad to see there is good activities and discussion going on from the user base community, and judging from those post, I see some new "faces". What's even better, I see folks are jumping in and answering questions as well as helping out. This is all well and great, but what Lucene.Net lacks is a development community. As some of you know already, I'm the only active committer toLucene.Net. This is bad in many ways. It slows down releases considerably, and it means Lucene.Net will never graduate from incubation to say the least. For example, if you are following up on the Java Lucene mailing list, you will noticed that about 2 weeks ago, Lucene 2.2 was released. Here on theLucene.Net, we still haven't done any progress on Lucene.Net 2.1 since my initial release going back to May 1st, 2007! (see:http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-lucene-net-dev/200705.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (I did get one important fix from DIGY, thanks DIGY -- but there is a lot more to be done.) So, if you are a developer (you have to be if you are a user) and want to see Lucene.Net in par with Java Lucene, and really like Lucene.Net such that you don't want to see it dying, consider spending few hours a week and helping with the port. If you need any help from me to do so, or you are not sure how to get started, please let me know. Regards, -- George
