Cassandra Targett created SOLR-10842:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Move quickstart.html to Ref Guide
Key: SOLR-10842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10842
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: documentation
Reporter: Cassandra Targett
Assignee: Cassandra Targett
Priority: Minor
Fix For: master (7.0)
The Solr Quick Start at https://lucene.apache.org/solr/quickstart.html has been
problematic to keep up to date - until Ishan just updated it yesterday for 6.6,
it said "6.2.1", so hadn't been updated for several releases.
Now that the Ref Guide is in AsciiDoc format, we can easily use variables for
package versions, and it could be released as part of the Ref Guide and kept up
to date. It could also integrate links to more information on topics, and users
would already be IN the docs, so they would not need to wonder where the docs
are.
There are a few places on the site that will need to be updated to point to the
new location, but I can also put a redirect rule into .htaccess so people are
redirected to the new location if there are other links "in the wild" that we
cannot control. This allows it to be versioned also, if that becomes necessary.
As part of this, I would like to also update the entire "Getting Started"
section of the Ref Guide, which is effectively identical to what was in the
first release of the Ref Guide back in 2009 for Solr 1.4 and is in serious need
of reconsideration.
My thought is that moving the page + redoing the Getting Started section would
be for 7.0, but if folks are excited about this idea I could move the page for
6.6 and hold off redoing the larger section until 7.0.
