Hi, Solr has been a sub-project of the Lucene TLP, but wil separate releases, JIRA, user-list etc. The committers have decided to establish Solr as a separate Apache Top Level Project (TLP). Please see the VOTE thread on the DEV mailing list: https://s.apache.org/solr-tlp-vote <https://s.apache.org/solr-tlp-vote> Users will not notice much change, other than new website URL, mailing lists and download locations.
The PMC will formally announce the change once it starts materializing, but it could take several weeks. Then we’ll also share more detailed information on what will change. Jan
