RE: [Lucene.Net] Is a Lucene.Net Line-by-Line Jave port needed?

I don't think I'm as hard core on this as Neal, but remember: the history of the Lucene.NET project is that all the intellectual work, all the understanding of search, all the new features come from the Lucene Java folks. Theirs is an immensely respected project, and I trust them to add new

Can I just plug in my bit and say I agree 100% with what Moray has outlined below. If we move away from the line by line port then over time we'll loose out on the momentum that is Lucene and the improvements that they make. It is only if the Lucene.NET community has expertise in search, a

NHibernate has a much bigger community and more active devs afaict. The proposed changes as I understand them are not about changing class structure or APIs, but merely touch hunks of code and rewrite them to use better .NET practices (yield, generics, LINQ etc). In conjunction with a move

Michael, You interpret the report as whoever commits code wins? But when I look at it, I see a lof of talk, no work. .Net community is not interested in contributing. I really don't understand what hinders people to work on Lucene.Net. As I did for 2.9.4g, grab the code, do whatever you want on

A) I don't to want to commit anything thats going to piss alot of people off, B) I don't want to spend time/waste time on modifications that are going to be rejected. What I've learnt from Apache Way is creating a JIRA issue if you are hesitant. If no one answers in a reasonable

DIGY - Re: Why do I wait.. That's mostly because I intend to make some deep changes, which would make merging the 2.9.4g branch back to trunk difficult. So, it's easier to merge those changes first. Also, I won't have enough time to make my changes until a little way in the future, but probably do

Scott - The idea of the automated port is still worth doing. Perhaps it makes sense for someone more passionate about the line-by-line idea to do that work? I would say, focus on what makes sense to you. Being productive, regardless of the specific direction, is what will be most valuable. Once

So, veering towards action - are there concrete tasks written up anywhere for the unit tests? If a poor schlep like me wanted to dig in and start to improve them, where would I get the understanding of what is good and what needs help? -r On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 3:29 PM, Digy digyd...@gmail.com
