First off, welcome to everyone who has joined.  We've got a lot of  
good work ahead of us, but I really think we can have a positive  
impact on the Lucene ecosystem by giving us all better means to test  
both relevance and performance (having a diverse set of collections  
for performance testing is also quite useful)

To get started, a few housekeeping items are in order:

1. A website.  I'm in the process of just copying over the Lucene TLP  
site from forrest and gutting it for ORP.  It will be pretty barebones  
to start.
2. Would be good to have a logo!  Can't have a project these days w/o  
a logo, it seems.  For now, I'll use the Lucene one as a placeholder,  
but if anyone is artistically inclined, please submit it to JIRA.
3. A Plan.  Let's start that one off on a different thread, but it is  
vital.  I'd also say we give it a few days to let people get  
subscribed and the wiki in place.

Resources in place so far:

1. JIRA - https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/project/ViewProject.jspa?pid=12310943
2. Wiki - I've put in a request for a Confluence Wiki
3. These mailing lists.  People should subscribe to both dev and user,  
although I suspect for some time most of the work will be on dev
4. Subversion is at: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/openrelevance/
    Committers should have access.  Let me know if you don't.

Looking forward to another successful Lucene subproject.

Cheers,
Grant

Committed and did the following on p.a.o:
cd /www/lucene.apache.org/
svn export https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/openrelevance/site/publish/
  openrelevance

Consider that to be the procedure for updating the website.  :-)

It will take a while for it to propagate through the mirrors.  Once it  
does, I will commit the patch for the TLP change that I have to add  
the news and tabs to l.a.o.

Thanks Grant for setting this up!

That would be great, I'll be offline until monday having the first
couple of days off this year and I would like to be around before we
start off.

Given the US Holiday (Fourth of July) is coming up, I'm in no  
particular hurry either.
