Since that was a while ago, I don't think it made it anywhere. Also not sure 
there is a benefit to digging through the mailing list again - let's just make 
this a re-ask for help? Or open up a new thread with a better subject to catch 
some attention?

I have to dig through the email, but as I recall we had 2 volunteers offer 
their help to build our web site. At the time I assumed that they were being 
contacted offline or on a list that I didn't have access to. Do you know if 
they were replied to? Perhaps they still have the time and willingness to 
help...?

I couldn't for the life of me remember (or find out) how to get you 
permissions. So I filed a ticket with INFRA 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/servicedesk/agent/INFRA/issue/INFRA-14530).

Definitely need to update all of our documentation and website. I'm not a web 
designer - but I can help any community member who is and who wants to help us 
revamp our web presence? I'm following the progress on this PR 
https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/206, which I think will solve our 
documentation issues. Just need to get a lot of people writing up samples on 
how to get started using Lucene and different features

Subject: Mailing List Documentation

Hello,

We received a complaint 
(https://github.com/synhershko/LuceneNetDemo/issues/3#issuecomment-307391518) 
from someone who wanted to contribute, but couldn't figure out how to sign up 
for the dev list because (apparently) the WIKI documentation isn't clear enough 
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/LUCENENET/Mailing+Lists). He tried 
to signup using the *actual* email listed on the page 
([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>)
 and it bounced.

He also made mention of our out of date documentation on the web site and WIKI 
pages.

What happened with the web site revamp project and can we get that going now 
that we are officially on NuGet? People get the impression the project is dead.

Also, could someone give me access to the WIKI so I can start working on 
updating the docs there? Is that the recommended place to add documentation 
(such as walkthroughs, .NET platform specific setup instructions, etc.) or 
should we aim to make that part of the API documentation 
(https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/206)? While we are on that subject, 
is the plan to put the new API docs at 
http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/docs/3.0.3/Index.html (with the new 
version number), or somewhere else?

Thanks,
Shad Storhaug (NightOwl888)
