Hi Chris, first of all thank you so much for your feedback :)
I'm definitely interested to strictly follow Apache Tika, not only for this opportunity but I could have specific capabilities to implement also for some of our clients :-P I didn't know nothing about your involvement in other standards so this is awesome! Inside Apache ManifoldCF we have a Tika Transformer that we can use in the pipeline when we start a scheduled job against content repository for indexing or migration process. I know something about Tika because I typically work also on Solr but probably following the mailing list can give me a wide vision about it. I'll ask if we can bring more people in the committee and I think that your contribution can be absolutely valuable. I'll let you know any update on this.
