Since the 7.0 Guide was released the instructions on how to edit and publish the Guide are published online. There are instructions on how to re-publish a new version of HTML files: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/how-to-contribute.html#update-a-published-guide. That whole page is built from the files in solr/solr-ref-guide/src/meta-docs if you'd rather look at the files locally.
Since we don't have a Jenkins build for 6.6 running any longer, you will need to have all the dependencies for building the Guide locally, and do the build locally for upload to the website. These dependencies are detailed in the solr/solr-ref-guide/README.txt file. We haven't yet re-published any version of the guide, so we don't have any established process for it. I think there's some grey area around whether you should also re-release the PDF, should the version number on the pages be different (which is a build parameter), etc. I have to ask if it's really worth all that though - there are lots of things in the 7.0 or 7.1 guides that *could* apply to 6.6, but they missed the cutoff so weren't published then. It's up to you if you want to go through what we have already figured out and figure out the rest of the open questions. Please be sure to document things as you go if you decide to do it.
