Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-6058:
-----------------------------------

Great contribution.

At the bottom on the page you have a list of "Solr Users" with selected logos. 
How should those be selected or contributed?

In one way the web page must be true to the non-commercial, neutral nature of 
being an Apache project. But on the other side our users are commercial and 
after having been "sold" on the nice web site and having tried Solr themselves, 
the next thing they look for on the site is "Anyone I trust using it?" and then 
"Where can I find books, consulting, training and support?".

Today we expose some books, but list of users is well hidden in 
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/PublicServers and Solr professionals also hide 
quite well in the oddly named wiki page https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Support - 
not very well maintained nor beautiful pages and horribly difficult to find.

Could we fix this on the new home page e.g. with some sub-items under the 
"Community" dropdown menu? Instead of a boring outdated bullet list, we could 
have list of  "info cards", each one presenting a success-story or consulting 
firm based on some predefined content items and size-limit. Then perhaps the 
logo of 5 random users from that list could be presented on the front-page? Is 
this accepted by Apache rules? How to maintain?
