Congratulations, everyone on reaching this outstanding milestone! I hope and believe Lucy has a long, illustrious future ahead of it.
As good as Lucene is, having a search technology built on a more universally compatible code base will make it much easier to be widely adopted. I can see Lucy someday built into most operating systems, powering search in apps like email clients and IDEs, and being the core of system-wide search technology like whatis or Apple's Spotlight. Thanks for all your hard work, and I look forward to seeing the great things that are to come. Chuck Norris Chief Technology Officer Eventful, Inc.
