Hello Lucene developers,

I would like to share a new external project that may be relevant to the 
Lucene analysis community: Radixor-Lucene.

Radixor-Lucene is an adapter for using the Radixor stemmer in Apache 
Lucene 10. Radixor builds on ideas from the historical Egothor stemming 
line, with a focused implementation aimed at compact compiled runtime 
data, deterministic lookup, and practical extension with domain-specific 
vocabulary.

It may be relevant in cases where one would otherwise consider 
Stempel-style stemming or Porter-family stemmers. It is a stemming 
toolkit, not a full morphological analyzer.

Project links:

    Radixor: https://leogalambos.github.io/Radixor/

    Radixor-Lucene: https://github.com/leogalambos/Radixor-Lucene

I would be interested in feedback on whether this is best kept purely as 
an external adapter, or whether the Lucene community would see value in 
it as part of a broader modernization path for the Stempel-style 
stemming space.

Best regards,
Leo Galambos
