Does it make sense? What do you think about it? What is the best
solution
(standalone vs lucene)?
One could put it in the lucene contrib directory.
I would be disappointed by this move - language identifier is an
important component in Nutch. Now the mere fact that it's bundled with
Nutch encourages its proper maintenance. If there is enough drive in
terms of willingness and long-term commitment it would make sense to
move it to a separate project on its own (or maybe as a part of Jakarta
Commons), but moving it into a catch-all purely optional category like
Lucene contrib would increase risks that it slides into oblivion...
