Björn, As far as a release schedule for a 3.X release goes.. Realistically, it's not likely to be ready until sometime in the later half of this year.
As you found in the blog article mentioned, the project was going through some difficult times last year. Since that time, the project has seen a lot of improvement. We've had a fresh start with a new group of committers and are back on track to start developing new releases. Unfortunately, there is a lot of cleaning up and catching up that we have to do before we can get back in sync with Java Lucene's releases. If you'd like to get involved with developing Lucene.Net, we can still use a lot of help. Some of the things we're focused on now are setting up a more automated way of creating the line-by-line ports, getting caught up to match the Java Lucene releases (3.X), and designing a new API and refining the existing implementation to fully take advantage of the .NET runtime and the C# language. There's a lot of ways someone could help out right now. We need everything from core code contributions to unit tests, documentation, HTML/CSS work on the project website, infrastructure coding for a CI server, and basic administrative and management tasks like keeping up with the issue tracker. The first step to getting involved would be to read over the history of the development mailing list for the past month or so, and review the JIRA issue tracker for current open issues. If there's not an issue for something that you think should be, feel free to enter it in. As usual feel free to post any questions to the list.
