Hello Steven, thank you for answering. Yes, I know of the Snowball Italian stemmer, however I have seen that for other languages (i.e. French and German) there exist different implementations of the Porter's algorithm, so I thought my implementation could be of some interest. In any case, I'll follow the procedure for new contributions and see what happens. :)

As this is the first time I contribute to an apache > project, I wondered how could I do to commit my work to the cvs. Did you know that Lucene already contains Snowball Italian stemmer code, under contrib/snowball/? (Although I see no Italian analyzer under contrib/analyzers/.) Below is a link to a ViewVC Subversion repository history page for the stemmer code: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/snowball/src/java/net/sf/snowball/ext/ItalianStemmer.java To answer your question, some useful info is here: <http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/HowToContribute> In short, you should check out the source tree from Subversion, create a patch containing your new code, then create a JIRA issue and attach your patch to it. JIRA (used by the ASF for issue tracking) automatically sends issue creation and update emails to the java-dev mailing list. The following three sections of the HowToContribute wiki page apply to your situation: 1. Getting the source code: <http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/HowToContribute#head-bd75edb4adc9cdac9f467b123e5da863b17fbc05> 2. Creating a patch: <http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/HowToContribute#head-39c5e0726916588ba1140af3f8bfd572c1acfdf3> 3. Contributing your work: <http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/HowToContribute#head-573abb45d0ec5d127a1ad8baa36c4c83afeb3608> Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
