Dear Hui,
i'm a Ph. d. student from University Complutense of Madrid (Spain) where i'm teaching assistant also, in the departament of Artificial Intelligence. I'm working with Lucene from two years ago, and i'm very interesting on re-implement certain classes (TermQuery, TermScorer, DefaultSimilarity) to adapt it to the state-of-art models in information retrieval BM25, LM, DFR, etc. I'm working also in the implementation of the evaluation module for Lucene to work with TREC collections and similars. I think that would be a good idea if we create a subproject of Lucene to develop new IR models and differents tools focused to IR community. I would be very interested on this issue and i think that would be very intereseting not only for IR comunity but also to Lucene comunity. What do you think about this idea?
