Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1873:
-------------------------------------

Here is a rough draft - if you have any comments or suggestions, I'd be happy 
to take them. If you originally wrote a contrib or know it well, feel free to 
provide a better overview. I'll probably make one more pass myself at some 
point. I'll also include a link to the package.html (for the contribs that have 
it)

> The page has misleading/bad info. One thing I would like to do - but I won't 
> attempt now (prob good for the modules issue) - is commit to one word - 
> contrib or sandbox. I think sandbox should be purged myself.
> The current page says that the sandbox is kind of a rats nest with various 
> early stage software that one day may make it into core - that info is 
> outdated I think. We should replace it, and also specify how the back compat 
> policy works in contrib eg each contrib can have its own policy, with the 
> default being no policy.
> We should also drop the piece about being open to Lucene's committers and 
> others - a bit outdated.
> We should also either include the other contribs, or change the wording to 
> indicate that the list is only a sampling of the many contribs.
