Hi,
The http://lucene.apache.org/solr/resources.html page is pretty big and
difficult to navigate and link to correctly.
I propose to extract the Resources/Community part of the web site into a
separate lucene.apache.org/solr/community page
and link it in the top menu. It will then get these sub-menus on its own:
ASF | Powered By | IRC | Mailing Lists | Issue Tracker | How To Contribute
| Version Control
In addition, I’m planning to add a sub menu “Support” which will for one point
to https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Support
and also discuss versioning and EOL policy. This last piece was triggered by
this question on the general@ mailing list
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/e239de1a5dca396eefc6c671a3e96426923d690584bc6f7b34d203e9@%3Cgeneral.lucene.apache.org%3E
I’m thinking of a general phrasing without promising too much:
Apache Solr is under active development with frequent feature releases on the
most current major version (currently 6.x).
The previous version (currently 5.5) is frozen for feature development but
receives security- and bug fixes as point releases.
Older versions (currently pre-5.5) are considered as EOL (End Of Life) and will
not be supported in any way.
You can think the previous major version as the LTS (Long Term Support)
version, although we do not formally use that terminology.
A new major Solr version will only be able to read the index of the previous
major version. For more about upgrading Solr,
see the Reference Guide chapter “Upgrading Solr”

What do you think?
