Erk, A couple things have come to light in the last couple days, since i started work on this. One is that the latest stable release of CLucene (has it been adopted by apache now?) that I was working with is apparently ripe to be replaced by a newer release, according to it's maintainer Ben. The second is that this newer release has a lot of SWIG typemaps and interfaces already built, which should reduce the amount of ruby specific code necessary - scrapping some if not most of the work I did on Thursday. :) I'm not a traditional member of the contributing free software community, so I am open to whatever the least restrictive and most appropriate licenesing scheme is, should it turn out that this new version of CLucene actually requires enough work to warrant a seperate release and not just inclusion in the CLucene project itself.
Having said those things, I am not sure how much time I am going to have to spend on this project moving forward. When i started on this i had intended to pull a bunch of overnighters this weekend to get enough of something going to be useful to me operating under the potentially overly optimistic assumption that I would indeed be able to get something useful going in that timeframe. But if nothing else comes out of this, I am happy to have produced at least a couple basic test cases showing the viability of this project. I'm checking out the latest branch of CLucene as we speak and going to start poking at it. I'll let the list know how it goes.
