Re: [VOTE] Accept Lucene.Net for incubation
All, Being well over 72 since the vote was initiated, and with 16 positive votes, 3 of which are binding and no negative or neutral votes, this vote passes, and is now closed. Thanks for your participation and for allowing us back into the Incubator to start next phase of life for Lucene.Net. Further gratitude goes to our helpful Mentors who are already guiding us in the needed steps to make this transition. I look forward to my next post announcing our first release under a new status.
