I agree that a release would be useful for marketing, but I also think it would help exercise the community and the release process.
Definitely. It also introduces oni like backward compatibility issues which need thought. Solr trunk currently has more volatility in this regard than mature products.
I just discovered Solr on Friday and I've been telling people about it, but every e-mail includes "you need to be OK with nightly builds." Being OK with nightly builds means that you need to run your own QA on the whole build every time you change. Kinda expensive.
It is always necessary to do QA. The Solr trunk tends to be modified only by large reviewed patches, and hence tends to be quite stable. A release would certainly not receive sufficiently more thorough vetting for me to feel comfortable dispensing with my own QA. best, -Mike
