Oops, yeah.  Copy and pasted from the website.  Looks like a typo.

Hmm, yeah, the "s" is what we call it.  I'll fix.

I'm having a hard time parsing this sentence:
"X is an effort to provide build and support".. Do you mean "an effort to
build and support ..."?

Also, I think it's confusing that the project name is "Lucene Connector
Framework" (Connector without an S), but in the description you're talking
about the "Lucene Connector*s* Framework".

Makes sense.  Given the initial committer list, I'd say we are well on our way to a diverse community, but it depends on how much those people contribute.

I'd drop 2 as it's kind of already required by 3. Instead I'd add a
point for "Grow a diverse development community". We'll want to see
patches coming in also from beyond the original development team.
