The freenode channels #solr and #solr-dev exist specifically for Solr. End users should keep their questions in #solr, because #solr-dev is for discussions around development of Solr itself. As a specific example: Initial discussion of a possible bug should begin in #solr. If you want to be part of the conversation for FIXING that bug, then #solr-dev would be appropriate. For the wider lucene ecosystem, there are #lucene and #lucene-dev, but Solr questions should only be asked there as a last resort, because it's off-topic for those channels and many residents probably don't know anything about Solr. It can take quite a while for someone to notice your question after you have asked it. The person that notices your question first may not know the answer, though. I've created a wiki page about the IRC channels, and I've pinged our admin UI expert about using that wiki page as the landing point for the "IRC Channel" link in the Solr admin UI. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/IRCChannels Thanks, Shawn
