Love this idea! I wonder if there's a way to make the messaging clear that ideas for new features/improvements are also always welcome? When I read the current language, I interpret it as bug reporting. Maybe adding a leading sentence would help?
``` Bug reports, improvements and new feature ideas are always welcome! Please note, this project has a user mailing list and an IRC channel for support. If you are looking for support, or if you are not sure whether the behavior that you are observing is expected or not, please discuss it there first. ``` Cheers, -Greg On Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 5:35 AM Adrien Grand <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Walter, > > Though it doesn't invalidate your comment, I was considering changing the > message only for the Lucene JIRA, at least for now. > > On Tue, Sep 21, 2021 at 5:08 PM Walter Underwood <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Here is one with shorter, less complex sentences and clear calls to action. >> >> Are you looking for support for Solr?
