> GitHub is where people are at when they lookup for Solr (or basically any
> project). Most of the modern projects that have been started with Jira and
> mailing lists have migrated to Github in the last few years. Lucene did that
> just now for the Issues which has allowed me to explore much more of their
> issues. GitHub works great and many think that it works even better (I think
> that there is no doubt that it is working better for the Discussions vs.
> Mailing lists).
> I suggest here a pretty heavy move, that personally will allow me to start
> anticipating within Solr's community (since I really don't like the mailing
> lists nor Jira), and I think that there are much more like me out there. In
> my opinion, when the issues are managed on Github, it is much simpler to
> collaborate and they will get wider exposure since developers are spending
> time on Github anyway (whether if it's for their projects or for looking at
> the actual source code). It is also important to mention that it is pretty
> cumbersome for a new contributor that wants to add stuff to Solr, to talk
> about this via mail, then translate them to Jira of the issues, and just
> after that submit a PR on Github. e.g. 3 different systems for each process.
> Other advantages are in the area of integrating code with issues. Take a look
> at a new issue that has been submitted to Lucene, in which one can point to a
> specific line:
> !image-2022-10-11-02-25-04-799.png|width=886,height=288!
> This is just a simple example, but I can easily dive into all of the minor
> and major advantages of writing issues and discussions on Github rather than
> in different places. I'll only mention now that the ability to write MD files
> is much more convenient to a user that writing MD on PRs, and using two
> different text editors for mail and Jira.
> As for Apache Pony Mail, I think it is much better than actually using Gmail.
> But I don't think it suits new users and it is not as close to being as
> modern as GitHub Discussions (take a look at
> https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/discussions or
> [https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions] for some examples).
> Actually, I thought such a great move (for me at least) would never happen in
> Solr in the next years since I didn't think that the community sees &
> understands the many advantages yet. But now that the Lucene guys did this, I
> believe that it is possible for Solr too.
