Hi Rida,

Some comments in no particular order:

- Looks useful

- This looks like a more expanded version of what Erik and I wrote for LIA, and 
I know people often ask and use that code, so I know there is a need for a 
framework that knows how to parse various document formats

- Nutch has some of the document parsing code written in form of plugins.  A 
few people wanted to decouple that from Nutch in a Tika project: 
http://code.google.com/p/tika/ .  Not sure what the status is, I think only 
Jukka Zitting did any work there, but I think the initial idea was never fully 
funished.  If LIUS joins Lucene, I think some of this duplication should be 
cleaned up, so we have only one framework for parsing various types of document 
formats.

- Going through the Incubator is one way to go.  Perhaps another way to get 
LIUS under Lucene is to just place it under contrib/, say contrib/lius.

- Licensing would have to change to ASL and you would probably also have to 
send in your ASF CLA.

- Any dependencies on GPL or LGPL or code released under other licenses would 
have to either be removed, or you'd have to fetch the required Jars at 
compile/build time.  A few projects under Lucene contrib/ already do that, I 
believe

- Are there developers who are actively working on LIUS?  Fixing bugs, adding 
features, keeping up with new versions of dependencies, etc.

Otis
P.S.
Out of curiosity - this is a Laval University project, right?  But you work at 
DocuLibre?

Hi,
I would like to add Lius framework (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lius/)

contribute to the developement of this project.

Thanks.
