I've noticed there seems to be a real difference in style between the (lucene) java subproject and the other java subprojects nutch/hadoop/(solr). Particularly given the overlap in the dev communities. I wonder if the "second class" nature of the java wiki might be addressed by "fixing it"? My initial reaction on seeing the FrontPage as a single tabular list was a little more off putting, compared to the style used by those other subprojects. I think it was Doug that mentioned a while ago that a HowToContribute page was needed. One exists for other projects' wikis but since the style used by the other projects isn't the same, the content isn't quite as easy to steal and place. If there's any interest in this, I'd be up for doing some of it. I'm climbing the learning curve anyway, so I'm up for putting in some effort codify what I learned. A related comment: it seems to me like the graph nature of the abstractions/classes in Lucene makes them particularly difficult to describe linearly. An example is the related nature of analysis/tokenizing at index and query times. It strikes me that the graph nature of a wiki is particularly helpful here. It helps flatten the learning curve to be able to easily jump to a description of the related components when reading, for example, about a particular analyzer. I came away feeling I wanted more in the wiki, not less. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
