: The detail on the lucene.apache.org/solr/ is very brief and poor. It
: seems you are just pushing folks to buy the newest SOLR book. very sad,
: who new is going to use this tool if the documentation detail is lousy.
: Most will just go buy a well document non-open sorce tool that is well
: supported.
So.... there is a "Books" section on lucene.apache.org/solr/ -- but it's
basically the last thing on the page, after the sections on "Learn more
about Solr" (which inlcudes links to the "Resources" page where all the
free documentation are -- also promomently featured in the main nav, in
red, at the top of the page) and and aftet the "Getting Started" section
which includes a direct link to "Read the Tutorial" and another "Level Up"
call linking again to the detailed "More Resources" (which is all free
documentation)
So from my perspective it's confusing that your perspetive of the page is
that the "focus" is on selling books?
At the same time: your perspective as a new user and your "first
impression" of the website is fascinating to me -- and I geniuniely
encourage you to elaborate more on how you think the main web page should
be structured to better draw attention to the important content for new
users.
i say with some intentional irony: as a person railing against the solr
website for being too brief, your email was very brief on details about
what exactly you suggest we change. This is an open source project, even
if you aren't a java developer and/or have a detailed understanding of the
code, your advice/contributions to the 'new user' experience can be a
valuable way to contribute. If you want to see changes made, be specific
about what changes you suggest:
