The "LucyIncubatorProposal" page has been changed by MarvinHumphrey. The comment on this change is: Revise Community.. http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/LucyIncubatorProposal?action=diff&rev1=32&rev2=33 -------------------------------------------------- == Rationale == There is great hunger for a search engine library in the mode of Lucene which is accessible from various dynamic languages, and for one accessible from pure C. Individuals naturally wish to code in their language of choice. Organizations which do not have significant Java expertise may not want to support Java strictly for the sake of running a Lucene installation. Native applications may be launched much more quickly than JVMs. Lucy will meet all these demands. - Apache is a natural home for our project given the way it has always operated: user-driven innovation, security as a requirement, lively and amiable mailing list discussions, strength through diversity, and so on. We feel comfortable here, and we believe that we will become an exemplary Apache project. + Apache is a natural home for our project given the way it has always operated: user-driven innovation, security as a requirement, lively and amiable mailing list discussions, strength through diversity, and so on.

Having been focused on features and technical goals for a long time, we are considerably overdue for a stable release, and anticipate rapid community growth in its wake. - Lucy currently has a small community, most members of which originated in the KinoSearch community. - - Lucy's chief challenge is growing its community, which it hopes to achieve through efforts in two areas: reaching a 1.0 release, and actively reaching out to its target audience, users and developers in the dynamic language communities who want a fast, scalable full-text search solution in their native language. === Core Developers === * Marvin Humphrey is the project founder of KinoSearch, and co-founded the existing Lucy subproject. He is presently employed by Eventful, Inc.
