Welcome Tim! It's great to have you here. Now you can commit Tika patches on your own. Great work with maintaining it.
Ah BTW, I am not a Latin and Greek professor, but before doing open source stuff with Lucene - in my previous life, I wrote a software for teaching Latin language. 😜🎃 You can still find it on German Amazon... 🤔 Maybe I should open source it at some point. But my former programming experience with Borland Delphi should not be consumed by anybody! 👮 Uwe Am November 2, 2018 4:40:44 PM UTC schrieb Tim Allison <[email protected]>: >Thank you, Erick!
