The plan still seems to be to release next week. It's a great time to update our documentation, esp the highly visible stuff like the main website page and feature list. The 1.4 release will probably cause a traffic spike, so it seems like we should do what we want to do on that front before the news hits the wire.
I put some ideas here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solr1.4 Since there will be continuing doc updates, etc, perhaps we should just continue using the nightly builds: http://people.apache.org/builds/lucene/solr/nightly/ I can kick of another nightly build any time someone needs it (i.e. makes a meaningful change that they want pushed out quickly). -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
