What is the status of the Lucy project?  A ruby api into the venerable
library Lucene seems to be the obvious first step towards developing a
truly stable effective IR solution for Ruby.  The last update on the
Lucy webpage http://lucene.apache.org/lucy/ seems to be from 2006.

Also, I may be missing something obvious here, but I don't understand
why there is no ruby API directly to the Lucene Java library, why
would the only Lucene/Ruby API be to the C-port of lucene?

Much Thanks -- Eric
