We invite you to take a look at the new OSAF project at http://pylucene.osafoundation.org PyLucene is a Python wrapper around the Lucene indexing and search engine. It was developed by Andi Vajda at OSAF for use in Chandler. PyLucene is a way of letting Python use Lucene to do full text indexing. There has been a lot of interest and feedback from the Python developer community that it would be nice to be able to get this functionality without having to deal with all of the Chandler source tree. This interest lead naturally to the idea of a separate project. During the weekly OSAF IRC Office Hour on June 23, 2003 there was a discussion with Andi, the original developer of PyLucene about its origins, scope, and current status. You can review this conversation on the IRC log <http://kahuna.osafoundation.org/~ducky/ getIrcTranscript.cgi?%20date=20040623> (from 11:00 to noon). ---- Ted Leung Open Source Applications Foundation (OSAF) PGP Fingerprint: 1003 7870 251F FA71 A59A CEE3 BEBA 2B87 F5FC 4B42
