I'm in whether it's Slack or email or whatever.

Count me in to participate if it’s a Slack channel.  (if it’s e-mail-based, it 
won’t hit my radar and I wouldn’t tune in much)

I’d love to chat up example/files* and hear what folks have troubles with and 
what we can do to make Solr examples more robust and useful.

Re: (Survey/Experiment) Are you interested in a Solr example reading group?

[Alexandre Rafalovitch]

Please, everybody who is interested, just click through to the survey.
It is a single page and that way I know who to contact if this does
happen :-)

And yes, it would be somewhere NOT on this mailing list to avoid
hogging the bandwidth of this one. A new time-limited list, a Google
Group, Slack. That's one of the questions in the survey.

Thank you,
   Alex.
P.s. If you represent a large number of users (e.g. you host Solr and
have customers...) and think they would be interested, let me know
directly. I don't need to know every participant's email but we do
need a critical mass to make it worth doing the
preparation/setup/time-arrangements.

If we get enough people, there are several goals:
*) To help people to be less afraid of the examples and to understand
how to use them/learn from them, including sharing tools to
analyze/review the examples
*) Maybe to play with support tools (e.g. review tools) to find the
best way for people to learn

Hi Alexandre,

that's a great idea! Count me in (time permitting...).

I guess the intended outcome is to create documentation issues and fixes?

Best,
Georg

(Survey/Experiment) Are you interested in a Solr example reading group?

[Alexandre Rafalovitch]

Is anybody interested in joining an example reading group for Solr
(6.2 or latest).

Basic idea: we take one of the examples that ship with Solr and ask
each other any and all questions related to it. Basic/beginner level
questions are allowed and welcomed. We could also share
tools/tips/ideas to make the examples easier to understand, etc.

Examples of potentially interesting questions:
*) Is this text_rev actually doing anything?
*) Why does this search against the example not do anything?
*) How do I remove all comments from this example configuration?
*) Can I delete this field/type/config section and have the example still work?
*) Where is the documentation that makes "this" tick?
*) What would this example data look like if it were in XML/CSV/JSONL?
*) Is this a bug, a feature, or just me?

This would be a separate time-bound group/list/slack (I am
open-to-suggestions), so only people interested and ready for
simple/narrow-focus questions be there.

If you are interested (or even if not), I just setup a very basic
survey to give your opinion at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JH8S666

Regards,
   Alex.
