The spatial API in google code takes a pretty different approach to spatial search in general.  It is organized into three key packages: 1. core stuff, no lucene dependencies.  Most of the math is here Aren't you just replicating what SIS is doing for this piece?  If you don't have a JTS

Right - there's no need to try and make promises about the future.  It seems unrelated to the questions at hand here. To be clear... I don't see any of this as promises -- obviously nothing happens until there is somethign concrete to evaluate. The point of this thread (for me anyway) is to

Grant, since you too have an interest in spatial, you too could be a developer on lucene-spatial-playground (I look forward to a better name).   Just because there are folks interested in spatial involved with Lucene/Solr does not mean that the module needs to actually be in the
