+      <p> 
+        Lucy will be a loose C port of the Java Lucene search engine library,
+        with Perl and Ruby bindings.  The project was undertaken when it
+        occurred to the authors of two Lucene ports, <a
+        href="http://www.rectangular.com/kinosearch/">KinoSearch</a> and <a
+        href="http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/">Ferret</a>, that as they
+        had written more and more C code, their projects had converged... so
+        maybe they ought to join forces.
