I am still interested in OpenGuides (I run several instances using the Debian package). I suspect not that many users use Lucy, so I'm fine with dropping that dependency. Please ping me in a couple of weeks if I haven't got around to that. Ironically, Lucy is more alive than Plucene, which saw it last upstream release in 2005, and which is probably used by most OpenGuides sites. Cheers, Dominic.
