Hi, Aaron,
Here is what I think it needs. Update to latest Lucene. Why do you think it will be a major undertaking? Are you going to re-architect at the same time? Create a front end, maybe a service in AWS also. I can ask a friend who was considering using Blur, what stopped him. We will know what would people need. I am interesting. My colleague at http://elephantscale.com/ might be interested too. I have a related project, https://github.com/shmsoft/FreeEed, and https://github.com/shmsoft/FreeEedUI. It 'd be good, potentially, to add Blur as a back end, an alternative to Solr. Update the 2011 copyright. It needs to look alive and be alive. Personnel reasons that you mention are people, not your personal problems, I assume.
