=== Lucene Status Report: June 2013 ===

The Apache Lucene project develops open-source search software.

TLP

We have submitted a resolution to change the PMC Chair from Steven A. Rowe
to Uwe Schindler.

We added three new PMC members in the last quarter: David Smiley, Adrien
Grand, and Shalin Shekhar Mangar. 

We added two new committers in the last quarter: Shawn Heisey and Han Jiang.

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

Lucene Core is a search-engine toolkit.

Solr is a search server built on top of Lucene Core.

In the last quarter we made two releases of both Lucene Core and Solr:

 - 4.2.1 on 02 April 2013
 - 4.3.0 on 04 May 2013

The community is very active.

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.

PyLucene 4.3.0-1 was released on 14 May 2013.
