Rob,

I don't think that graduating as a Lucene sub-project would be a good idea
since Lucene.Net
was once a sub project of Lucene before returning back to incubator. And I
can not say that it 
was a good marriage.

I will refrain from voting either way for now as I wanted to raise
something.


As a PMC member of another project (Apache Jena) that recently graduated 
from the Incubator I would raise one issue that the Lucene.Net PMC should 
consider which is whether the community meets the following requirement:


"Demonstrate an active and diverse development community"


While this partly refers to the PMC/commiter base it also refers to 
community involvement e.g. mailing list traffic


Certainly the user list seems to suffer from sporadic and low traffic which 
might be considered as a bad sign by the Incubator PMC.  I don't subscribe 
to the developers list so maybe that has the majority of the traffic (which 
looking at the archives looks to be the case) but you should consider how 
else you can demonstrate viable community activity e.g. questions asked and 
answered on StackOverflow, blog posts from non-PMC members - if the 
Incubator PMC should raise this as a barrier to graduation


It may be that this is no barrier to graduation but it is worth thinking 
about now and checking with your Incubator mentors to avoid wasting your 
effort.  I believe the Incubator PMC has previously said you are ready to 
graduate so maybe this is a non-issue in this projects case especially 
since I presume you would graduate as a Lucene sub-project rather than a 
new TLP and thus benefit from the wider Lucene community?
