Yes. I didn't think of that. A 'Guide for Developing on the Lucene Project' would be an excellent resource. However, we would most certainly shorten it to the GDLP and then quickly forget what it stands for. :) I would stick with 'Developer's guide' and let 'users' be temporarily confused.

Oliver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 2:29 PM To: 'Lucene Developers List' Subject: RE: Getting Started (first draft comments) Ah.. this is the age old problem.... If you write stuff for use by developers then who are the developers and who are the users.... When I say "Developer's guide" I mean "Developers of Lucene". When I say "Users" I mean developers/developer-like-people who "use" Lucene but do not necessarily directly assist in the Development of Lucene regardless of whether they develop with Lucene. Does that make sense? Perhaps "Guide for Developing on the Lucene Project" would be more clear...but..a bit long. :-) -Andy On Thu, 2002-01-24 at 15:26, Ogren, Philip V. wrote: > The name 'Developer's guide' seems a little superfluous considering the > audience ;) > > I have no preference where it goes.
