Apoligies in advance for calling yet another vote, but I just wanted to make sure this was official. Mike's second VOTE thread could probably technically stand on it's own (since it included PMC votes), but given that I said in my previous VOTE thread that I was just polling Lucene/Solr committers and would call a second PMC vote, that may have acted to suppress PMC votes on Mike's thread also. Please vote for the proposal quoted below to merge lucene/solr development. Here's my +1 -Yonik Mike's call for a VOTE (amongst lucene/solr committers +11 to -1): http://search.lucidimagination.com/search/document/a400ffe62ae21aca/vote_merge_the_development_of_solr_lucene_take_2#22d7cd086d9c5cf0 > Subject: Merge the development of Solr/Lucene (take 2) > A new vote, that slightly changes proposal from last vote (adding only > that Lucene can cut a release even if Solr doesn't): > > * Merging the dev lists into a single list. > > * Merging committers. > > * When any change is committed (to a module that "belongs to" Solr or > to Lucene), all tests must pass. > > * Release details will be decided by dev community, but, Lucene may > release without Solr. > > * Modulariize the sources: pull things out of Lucene's core (break > out query parser, move all core queries & analyzers under their > contrib counterparts), pull things out of Solr's core (analyzers, > queries). > > These things would not change: > > * Besides modularizing (above), the source code would remain factored > into separate dirs/modules the way it is now. > > * Issue tracking remains separate (SOLR-XXX and LUCENE-XXX > issues). > > * User's lists remain separate. > > * Web sites remain separate. > > * Release artifacts/jars remain separate.
