pylucene eggs: releasing on Pypi, listing on the PyLucene wiki and announcing on pylucene-dev

[Philippe Ombredanne <po...@gmail.com>]

Howdy:
FWIW, we are now five person to have expressed interest and will be 
chipping in to provide pre-built eggs at 
http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/pylucene-extra/ which is 
the whole purpose of apache-extras I guess :)

Now I have three requests for you, the pylucene committers:

1/ Pypi: there are no PyLucene entry in Pypi: we would like to create 
one and make the eggs available there, so they can be 'distribute'd 
'pip'ed or 'easy_install'ed

2/ Apache wiki: we would like to make visible on the Pylucene wiki the 
fact that there are community contributed pre-built eggs
but... there is no wiki initialized yet for the project

3/ Announces: we would like to announce on the pylucene-user list the 
availability of newly released eggs

Any objections or comments?

No objections on my part as long as: 
 - it's not called just "PyLucene" there (pylucene-binaries or pylucene-extras would be fine names, on the other hand)
 - it's made clear that the Apache Lucene project and the Apache Software Foundation are not responsible or endorsing these binaries (and not maintaining them or vouching for their integrity in any way).

There has been a wiki attempt in the past setup by volunteer users (prior to the move from OSAF to the ASF) and, as with most wiki sites, it quickly became out of date for lack of gardeners. Personally, I am not willing to take on maintenance of a wiki.
Why not have a wiki for pylucene-extras ?

For the same reasons as above, I can not promote these binaries on the lucene.apache.org/pylucene site but you're welcome to announce/promote these binaries, and pylucene-extras, on the pylucene-dev list, of course, as they're made available and refreshed.

There is no pylucene-user list, only a dev list and it serves the same purpose.
