Personally, I am not willing to take on maintenance of a wiki. Why not have a wiki for pylucene-extras ? For the same reasons as above, I can not promote these binaries on the lucene.apache.org/pylucene site but you're welcome to announce/promote these binaries, and pylucene-extras, on the pylucene-dev list, of course, as they're made available and refreshed. > 3/ Announces: we would like to announce on the pylucene-user list the > availability of newly released eggs There is no pylucene-user list, only a dev list and it serves the same purpose.
