We should not make the Lucene.NET project dependent on a specific IDE (VS2008, VS2010, etc.) the source should builable from the tools available in the .NET 2.0 SDK or equivalent Mono tools. - Neal -Original Message- From: Jeffrey Cameron (JIRA) [mailto:j...@apache.org] Sent: Tuesday

Huh? What I should have been clear and concise to anyone who has follow the project for the past several years. Lucene.Net has already been through the official process of being promoted out of incubator status. Why is it necessary to repeat this process? The PMC failed to respond to the list
