Otis, I'd be happy to. Where do you think the best place to put this is - under 'hacking Solr' or with the other stemming text?

It won't be integrated in Solr 1.3, I believe, because of KStem's license. But we should document what the Factory for it can look like, perhaps by posting it on the Wiki. Harry, if you have the code handy, feel free to post it on the Solr Wiki somewhere.
