Just to be clear, I wasn't saying Lucy has to leave the ASF. It can certainly go into Incubator. The thing it needs to do, in my mind, is prove their a community here more than just Marvin (and despite the discussion on IRC, the mail archives paint a different story: http://lucy.markmail.org/

It's been a while since we've taken a look at Lucy from a PMC standpoint, but I think it is worth us reviewing once again. And, while this isn't easy to do because I very much value Marvin as a member of the Lucene community, I think we need have a frank discussion about whether Lucy belongs as
