API is cool and dandy, but I think project should go in other direction. Lucene focus should be REAL support for languages, lack of proper dictionaries, lame stemmers makes it hard to use.

For me Lucene was always an NoSQL database and the rest of real search stuff I had to implement myself. (not to mention Solr mess).

It's fun and cool to work on some Java code architecture, but the real need lies somewhere else.
