There is a ruby-dev [at] lucen list :) (CC'd)

If the Ruby work is going to be from scratch then no incubation is
necessary. We can give Andi and Brian M. commit privileges to a /
ruby tree easily already to allow that to start happening.

Brian - what say you and the RubyLucene clan?

I sure would love a Ruby version of Lucene right about now.... I
would very likely shift to Rails and RubyLucene instead of the stack
(Tapestry/Cayenne) I'm using now *nudge nudge*.

The Ruby work may be from scratch, I don't know. But the project to incubate,
the project we've been talking about for a while now,
SWIGLucene-unless-we-come-up-with-a-better-name, would include PyLucene, not
from scratch, RubyLucene, and maybe others.

The ruby part of it is from scratch, but I am using Andi's work
extensively, and it relies on that work for all practical purposes.
I'd be quite comfy going through the incubator, or not -- whichever
people are comfortable with. Andi's work can be an external
dependency (the licensing is fine).

I still like the idea of a "Native Ports" lucene subproject.

I'm cross-posting to java-dev just to let folks know we've moved this
conversation over to ruby-dev [at] lucene

My preference is to get the Ruby stuff into Subversion sooner rather
than later and since its from scratch I prefer to put this directly
under /ruby in the main Lucene repository. Any reason why we should
not kick start it this way? If not, then we'll have Doug enable
Brian (and Andi if desired, and perhaps others?) to have privileges
to a /ruby tree.

Me too! But I don't think that should hold up the Ruby efforts from
getting into a repository soon and for the ruby-dev [at] lucen list to
become more active.

RubyLucene... soon please! :)

Attached is a message I sent earlier summarizing the incubation process
as I know it from Nutch.
