Completely unofficially since I'm just a lurker on the Slide lists, but +1 for Stefano and Pier as Slide committers! I'm ecstatic to see the activity here pick up and all this talk of a 2.0 release, Lucene searching, etc.... nice!
Stefano and Pier have not contributed very much to Slide, yet, but both are well known and respected not only in the Jakarta community.
First of all, we should ask them if they wanted to be Slide committers in the first place! I hereby do it: do you want to?
p.s. I don't have time to really get deep into DASL within Slide just yet, but I am in the midst of co-authoring a book on Lucene - so if anyone needs any assistance I'd be more than willing to answer questions or assist in some minor ways. I do have big plans with Slide and Lucene in the near future once the book is done, so this is definitely an area of keen interest for me.
We were discussing if it was possible to use Lucene not only for full text, but also for property indexing. Maybe using fields? Then for properties like size and "date of last change comparators" like < and > would be great. I do not think this is supported by Lucene, is it? Could it be possbile / reasonable to extend Slide for this?
