Let me know what I need to do for the transaction.
Thiago - first, we need to follow Apache procedures regarding
software grants:
<http://www.apache.org/licenses/#grants>
This entails us getting approval from the Lucene PMC to bring this
code in. What we need to demonstrate is a viable community. So
while I understand your situation of not having time, its best not to
use that verbiage when trying to bring code to Apache. What we want
is a healthy community, not a dumping ground of code for folks
without enough time.
I recommend you bring this topic up to your acts_as_solr e-mail list
and have the folks interested in the future of that plugin to join
this e-mail list and show support for this move.
Again, I'm out of commission for a couple more weeks but can get back
into this in more detail soon.
Erik
