rubylucene - new & improved

[Erik Hatcher]

I had the pleasure of working with Rich Kilmer for a bit last weekend
and he helped me clean up my newbie Ruby directory structure and get
things tidy. I've checked in my stuff at RubyForge under rubylucene
(was previously rucene, which is now deprecated and will be removed
soon):

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubylucene/

While I don't anticipate spending much time on this in the next few
months, I do want to work on it and see a full-fledged Ruby version of
Lucene. I'd love to have others join in the fun!

Wondering (as I was) what 'rubylucene' and 'Lucene" are?

From the Lucene RubyForge summary page:

"This project aims to implement a Ruby version of the popular Lucene
search engine"

You can read about a Lucene at

http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene

"Jakarta Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine
written entirely in Java. It is a technology suitable for nearly any
application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform. "
