Hoss Man commented on SOLR-10842:
---------------------------------
if we setup a "RedirectMatch Permanent" from {{/solr/quickstart.html}} to
{{/solr/guide/solr-tutorial.html}} then the order of the rules shouldn't
matter -- the browser will execute the redirect, and on the second request, the
(existing) rules to redirect to the "current" version will kick in.
I think that's probably the best thing to do long term?
(the other option would be to setup a rewrite rule so that on the *first*
request quickstart.html is _internally_ rewritten to /guide/solr-tutorial.html,
and _then_ the redirect would happen (i think) ... it would mean the browser
would only see a single redirect -- but it would also mean search engine caches
& book marks would never update -- and they'd keep sending people to the "old"
quickstart.html url)
> Move quickstart.html to Ref Guide

> The Solr Quick Start at https://lucene.apache.org/solr/quickstart.html has
> been problematic to keep up to date - until Ishan just updated it yesterday
> for 6.6, it said "6.2.1", so hadn't been updated for several releases.
> Now that the Ref Guide is in AsciiDoc format, we can easily use variables for
> package versions, and it could be released as part of the Ref Guide and kept
> up to date. It could also integrate links to more information on topics, and
> users would already be IN the docs, so they would not need to wonder where
> the docs are.
> There are a few places on the site that will need to be updated to point to
> the new location, but I can also put a redirect rule into .htaccess so people
> are redirected to the new location if there are other links "in the wild"
> that we cannot control. This allows it to be versioned also, if that becomes
> necessary.
> As part of this, I would like to also update the entire "Getting Started"
> section of the Ref Guide, which is effectively identical to what was in the
> first release of the Ref Guide back in 2009 for Solr 1.4 and is in serious
> need of reconsideration.
> My thought is that moving the page + redoing the Getting Started section
> would be for 7.0, but if folks are excited about this idea I could move the
> page for 6.6 and hold off redoing the larger section until 7.0.
