Hi Alexandre , I think its a great idea to have someone look into the usability part as a GSOC project.
However I feel we should define this task somewhat before people start applying. The student should not get caught up in a Jira which is attracting lots of discussions from the devs . This could be quite overwhelming to someone new to the project. > looking at downstream Apache projects using Solr and helping them to move to Solr 6, things like that. I'm not sure how that would classify as a GSOC project under the Apache Lucene Project? Here are a few ideas which come to my head that a student could take on as a project - Improving the admin dashboard UI - Polishing all our APIs - We have Schema APIs / Config APIs and V2 APIs for stuff like creating collections etc. - Can one take a basic configset and recreate all the remaining configsets that we have in Solr using these APIs ( example-DIH/* , films , techproducts ) . We would find gaps here which one could work on On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 4:27 PM, Alexandre Rafalovitch <[email protected]> wrote: > ASF is in the GSC this year again.
