First, thanks Anshum for taking the release bull by the horns. Lucene and Solr
5.0 is an exciting milestone!
I’m just starting to run through RC1, and noticed a leftover now-incorrect bit
in solr/CHANGES.txt. I’d say this actually warrants a respin in and of
itself, alas, but of course let’s wait a bit and see if anything more
functional needs fixing.
-0 for RC1?
Below is a draft suggested improvement, though relative links and <a>’s
themselves don’t make it through the solr/CHANGES.txt =>
solr/build/docs/changes/Changes.html process. I think it’d be better if we put
in a relative link to the built-in docs files rather than pointing to the
external site, to keep things versioned and internally consistent. But how can
we do that here?
Sorry, I should have caught this one myself long ago.

Getting Started
---------------

-In this release, there is an example Solr server including a bundled
-servlet container in the directory named "example".
-See the Quick Start guide at http://lucene.apache.org/solr/quickstart.html
+You need a Java 1.7 VM or later installed. See Solr's <a
href="../SYSTEM_REQUIREMENTS.html">system requirements</a> for
+more details.
+Really quickly, you can get started using Solr with these steps:
+
+ # `bin/solr start -e schemaless`
+ # `bin/post -c gettingstarted docs/`
+ # `open http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/browse?q=%22quick+start%22`
+ # What you now have is a search engine of Solr's built-in documentation!
+
+For a more thorough yet still quick guide, run through the <a
href="../quickstart.html">Quick Start guide</a>.
