I agree if it is close to a release we should try to synchronize.
Since i don't live in an environment where "official release" is
important, it has never felt like a big deal. Also if you are
cracking into the lucene source, it seems like you are beyond that
too...
The lucene version should be well documented in CHANGS.txt, but we
could do more to make it easier. Perhaps add maven source artifacts?
I'm not sure this would even work, but is it possible for us to add an
svn link to the lucene version we are currently depending on?
svn:externals or something like that?

One of the things about the 1.3 release that I didn't care for, was
the
inclusion of a non-release version of Lucene. It was very difficult to
track down the source code for the "dev" version that was used. Once
Lucene had release its official version, I upgraded to that (which
went
well) so that I had access to Lucene source.
If Lucene is going to release relatively soon, a release after that
might be nice.
For what it's worth, I understand the difficulty of having 2 projects
running in parallel with the dependency between them. While trying to
improve both at the same time. I'm not trying to throw stones, just
sharing an opinion.

sounds good.
is lucene planning a release anytime soon? If so, is it worth
*trying* to coordinate?

I'd like to suggest we start thinking about 1.4 being released in
early January. Here's my reasoning:
1. I think we all agree that 1.2 -> 1.3 was way too long
2. Quarterly releases seem to be a pretty nice timeframe for people
such that you aren't constantly upgrading, yet you don't have to
wait for eternity for new features
3. And here's where the rubber meets the road: We've actually put
in some significant features and bug fixes, namely Java-based
Replication, Tika Integration, new more scalable faceting
implementation and on and on, not to mention Lucene improvements and
other bug fixes. Read about it at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk/CHANGES.txt
Here's what's currently targeted to 1.4:

Since I so enjoyed doing the release last time, I volunteer to do it
again this time.
Thoughts?
