=== Lucene Status Report: December 2012 ===

TLP

Trademarks/branding:

We believe the project is now in compliance with the Apache project
branding requirements.


Lucene Core and Solr
----------------

Lucene Core is a search-engine toolkit and Solr is a search server
built on top of Lucene. The community is very active.

In the last quarter, we released Lucene Core and Solr 4.0 final.

We have added one new committer in the last quarter: Alan Woodward.

We have added one new PMC member in the last quarter: Sami Siren.


Open Relevance Project
----------------------

The Open Relevance Project is a project aimed at providing Lucene
and others tools for judging the quality of search and machine
learning approaches.  The community is not very active, but
we don't expect it to be very high volume either as it is a niche
area.


PyLucene
--------

PyLucene is a Python integration of Lucene Java.  Development is
almost entirely an automated port, so this project will never
require a lot of developers.  The user community is active.

There were no PyLucene releases in the last quarter.
