Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-11615:
-------------------------------------
I didn't know that the new reference guide pages had a comment system until
just now. I have never seen any notifications about any of those comments.
The comment system mentions that for some functionality an account must be
created, but has no information about how to create an account.
I suspect that for the new ref guide that is generated from the source code,
Jira is probably the best way for extensive changes, and a mailing list message
(either solr-user or dev) would be a good idea for extremely simple changes.
[~Jonathan Pool], anybody can edit the HowToContribute page. All that is
needed is to create an account on the Solr wiki and request edit permissions on
the IRC channel, the solr-user list, or the dev list.
I have fixed a couple of links for Solr mailing lists to point to the correct
page.

> The Solr HowToContribute page has obsolete instructions:
> (1) “for very minor changes, spelling errors, grammar corrections and the
> like it's probably better to just comment on the live page rather than go
> through the heavyweight process of creating a JIRA and patch”. But the page
> is immutable. No method for commenting on it is apparent.
> (2) “Contributors should join the Solr mailing lists.” The link to mailing
> lists is obsolete.
