Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Lucy Wiki" for chan=
ge notification.

The "LucyIncubatorProposal" page has been changed by MarvinHumphrey.
The comment on this change is: Reduce usage of the word "community" and mak=
e a few other minor changes..

--------------------------------------------------

  We look forward to continuing to operate as a meritocracy under the estab=
lished traditions and rules of the ASF.

- Lucy's most active participants of late have been drawn from the KinoSear=
ch and Lucene communities.  Having been focused on features and technical g=
oals for a long time, we are considerably overdue for a stable release, and=
 anticipate rapid community growth in its wake.

  One Apache value which is particularly cherished by the Lucy community is=
 codebase transparency.  We have developed institutions which enable us to =
measure and maximize usability (see [http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/BrainLog])=
, and we feel strongly that the bindings for Lucy must present APIs and doc=
umentation which are idiomatic to the host language culture so that end use=
rs can consume our work as easily as possible.
  =

- The controlled competition of meritocratic community development is also =
very important to us.  There has been substantial cross-pollination of idea=
s between the Lucene and Lucy communities, yielding considerable benefits f=
or both projects.  The Lucy developers envision that our host-language sub-=
communities will approach using and extending the library in distinct ways;=
 we hope to harness the creative tension between them to drive innovation, =
building productive relationships akin to the one that Lucene and Lucy have=
 today.

  A third priority of ours is to be bound by existing Apache institutions, =
for the protection of all our stakeholders.
