Now that the 4.4 release vote is official and gradually making it's way to
the mirrors, I'd like to draw attention to the efforts that have been made
to get the "Solr Reference Guide" into releasable shape, so that we can
plan on holding a VOTE to release the "4.4" version ASAP...
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Apache+Solr+Reference+Guide
https://people.apache.org/~hossman/apache-solr-ref-guide-snapshot.pdf
TL;DR: I plan to call a vote to formaly release this doc in ~40 hours.
Please help out by reviewing/improving the content -- especially if one of
the subtasks of SOLR-5036 is asigned to you (because that means you
already agreed you would).

For those of you who haven't been following along closely, there were a
lot of hicups related to the Apache Confluence instance that slowed us
down on getting hte RefGuide content donated by LucidWorks up and running
and editable. Some of those issues are still outstanding, notably because
the ASF is still in the process of trying ot upgrade to Confluence 5.x,
and that process is on hold indefinitely (See SOLR-4618 and it's subtasks
for history) which means we may have to re-visit a lot of little things
once the Confluence upgrade is complete.
In the meantime the Ref Guide is in fact up and live and and editable, and
progress has been made on two fronts:
* Getting the doc up to date with Solr 4.4 (SOLR-5036)
* Getting a process in place to release/publish the doc with each
minor solr release.
There are 4-5 major additions needed to the doc to cover Solr 4.4
adequately, see the children of SOLR-5036 for details. My hope is that
the folks who volunteered to help out in writing those new sections of the
doc can work on their edits over the next ~40 hours or so, and then on Wed
morning (my time) I plan to vall a VOTE to formally release this doc
(i'm volunteering to be the "Doc RM" this time arround)...
