Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4004:
-------------------------------------
What can I say: documentation is always a weakness.
>From the Solr side, I think most of the documentation tends to be higher level

don't get as much attention since its a smaller population hacking on the APIs.
>From the Lucene side, things tend to be under-documented or out of date.
In any case, just throw up patches and lets get em in. Nobody gets excited to
work on docs too much around here unfortunately, probably because there is no
momentum and the existing docs are all out of date and not very good.
On the other hand, just in the past weekend we've made some serious progress on
the lucene documentation already: nuked the old out-of-date-forrest stuff,
fixed a ton of broken links, added a broken-link checker, linked the javadocs
of various modules to each other, brought all the existing docs (minus
fileformats) up to speed with 4.0, generating htmlized version of the .txt
documents with markdown, etc.
I know there is a lot of underdocumented stuff in lucene, but currently from my
own perspective I am working to correct the broken stuff :)
For some reason, its definitely harder to fix the old documentation up to make
sense than i would have ever thought, I spent most of the day just bringing
http://lucene.apache.org/core/3_6_0/scoring.html up to speed and integrating it
into the o.a.l.search package javadocs.
For the stuff you see thats experimental with no javadoc tag... this is really
just as bad of a problem, just open issues if you want to help out. We are
pretty overwhelmed with things to fix on the documentation side so any help
would be appreciated.
