Hi all,
Following a recent discussion with Otis, I would like to request for the
CLucene project to join the ASF, as a sub-project of Lucene.
CLucene is an important port of Lucene, and is being used very widely for a
few years now. The project aims to be attractive to people who like to use
Lucene but wants to increase performance or reduce the overheads of using a
JVM, for C++ developers; and eventually for users of various high-level or
scripting languages.
We are currently hosting on SourceForge; our latest release conforms to Java
Lucene 1.9.1, but the master branch in our git repository works with 2.3.2
indexes, and is being worked on for a while now. More info is available in
our website (http://clucene.sourceforge.net/) and project page
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/clucene/).
CLucene is currently released under the LGPL and the Apache 2.0 licenses
(dual). If this needs changing, we will need some legal help to do that
correctly.
Please advise on how to pursue this, and what needs to be done from our end.
This move is very important to us, and could also benefit the Lucene
community. Hopefully, we could make this happen.
Itamar.
