Re: First-time contributor to a project, how can I help?

There are many ways to contribute to the project without commit. And it is best to start from no expectation of commit bits rather than trying to earn them. When I started contributing to Solr, I did not ever expect to become a committer. So, I worked on things around it. Blogging, commenting on

Re: Using Solr/Lucene to provide our own site search?

Just to provide links: http://jirasearch.mikemccandless.com/search.py?index=jira - Lucene (not Solr) based search of issues for several projects. Very deep understanding of the domain. Adding more is probably not that hard. http://search-lucene.com/ - Solr-based, search over mailing lists, wikis,

Re: Using Solr/Lucene to provide our own site search?

I am an Apache Solr committer and would be happy to be part of such project. My primary focus within Solr community is onboarding, training and general beginner-orientation. I would be happy to do Solr intro course to any Apache Solr committer and contribute to this project on Solr issues such as
