Prescott, this was discussed before in the mailing list. Are there any known issues at this point?

Next step for me is to try and run in on my Windows 8 machine, but first I want to understand what I'm getting myself into...

According to the .NET Standard page (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard), just being on .NET Standard 1.5 is enough to support Universal Windows Platform (which is where the "develop" link leads above).

I have made an attempt to move us to .NET Standard 1.4 (which would get us there immediately), but this turns out is either not possible or very difficult because of missing APIs.

Either way, we cannot verify this on Lucene.Net 4.8.0 until the support is in place (either by supporting .NET Standard 1.4 or waiting until UWP vNext), so I am leaving this open for now.
