Hello Herb, I don't approve of several teasing, mean, etc. emails I saw from a few people. This is a serious and polite email. :)
It sounds like you know about NLP and see places where Lucene could be improved. Lucene is open source and free, and could benefit from knowledgeable people like you. Are you interested in contributing some computational linguistics smarts, either as improvement of Lucene core (if improvements are such that they don't make Lucene use more difficult and its code significantly more complex and harder to maintain), or as an add-on module, or some kind of an extension, or even just as application built on top of Lucene, all of which could and would live outside of Lucene's core?
