Thanks aside, it is such a PITA when developers choose to package tarballs the way you have. After opening tens of thousands of tarballs I can safely say that the "standard" way of doing it is to have a directory called ezmwlucene_1.0 inside ezmwlucene_1.0.tar. This means that you plop ezmwlucene_1.0.tar in mediawiki/extensions and then you untar it and your done.
What you have chosen to do is totally bizarre. If I do the standard thing I get client and server directories inside my extension directory and the client directory contains extensions/EzMwLucene. This is not exactly the "easy to install" solution I was imagining.

Thank you so much~! The WMF's implementation is a real PITA to configure.

I'd like to announce the first release of EzMwLucene. This project provides a simplified Lucene search to Mediawiki. It is designed to be easy to install, configure, and run. It provides real-time, multiple field indexing and searching as well as text indexing of standard attachment types (pdf, xls, doc, ppt, vsd). The server is a self contained Java application (no application server needed), and the client portion is a standard Mediawiki extension. It is currently in production on an internal site with over 1000 users running on Mediawiki 1.13.

I welcome all feedback: questions, suggestions and offers to help improve it!
