Hello ComDev, Some members of the Apache Solr Project are interested in having a LinkedIn Group as a community collaborative forum to share various news / happenings. There is already a private group named "Solr" and another named "Apache Solr" that we might be able to convince the owners of to share or relinquish admin privileges. We could also start a new group. Questions:
* Is it a problem if the group is named "Solr" without "Apache" in the name? * Is it a problem if the group is private; users need to request to join? Of course we'd prefer a public group but AFAICT it's not possible to convert a group's public/private aspect. The "Solr" group has 6K members, and I'd be shocked if we could reach such a figure if we start a new group or use the other one. Although we might convince many to switch that are subscribed. I would rather not create an official relationship between the project/PMC and the group. Nonetheless, if the group becomes useful, we'd like to link to it from the project website and vice-versa. Some disclaimers may be needed.
