Re: About name change -- Lucon, Lukon

or "k" for Karl.

Re: About name change -- Lucon, Lukon
Posted by Karl Wright <da...@gmail.com>.
Omnivore, perhaps? A little more findable... Of course, now the humorist

Yardsale" and "Apache VacuumCleaner". ;-)
Tying to Lucene seems like not quite the right idea, in my view, but we can
vote on it.
