Hi
I would like to contribute/help in the development of Lucene and I'm
not
sure where to start. I understand Lucene is a mature project with
some
really great contributors and I was wondering whether you can advise
me on
where to start. I would be happy to do any documentation, fix bugs or
anything.
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/HowToContribute is the best place
to start. Usually, I just tell people to scratch their own itches.
Fix or add to things that you use. Also, we are nearing 2.9 release,
so it would
be great to have as many eyeballs as possible on that. There is a lot
of new goodness coming in 2.9, so it will be particularly important to
get good feedback, as this will help set the stage
for us to finally drop JDK 1.4 support as well as add in more flexible
indexing/search capabilities (new analysis capabilities, etc.)
Additionally, it has some cool new per segment stuff that should help
people
with near real time needs have better performance. Finally, there are
a few back incompatible changes, so feedback on them would also be
great.
