Sorry, I missed this thread and reported the same thing.
I think i got the links working, I'll see if i can figure out some of
this formatting.
Thanks, Robert !
I dont know any of this much myself, only barely squeezing by to get
the lucene Java releases out.
If anyone wants to help, here is link with a video on how to make
edits and submit them
(http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html#non-committer)
Contributions would be much appreciated.

Since the switch to the new Apache CMS, a year ago, the PyLucene website has
been a shameful wreck.
I don't have the spare cycles to spend the time to fix it. Call it an unfunded
mandate (timewise).
The good news is that anyone can actually fix it and send in patches to get
applied to the public site.
You can either check out the sources or use the interactive interface on the
Apache CMS itself.
It would be nice to inherit the look from the main Lucene site as well as its
buttons.
See Lucene bug 2748 for details, especially Grant's comment from 06/Aug/2011
22:13.
Clearly, the PyLucene site needs volunteers. It's not a huge task other than
the learning curve if battling with css and markdown.
Any takers ?

Hi,
I'm also running Mac OS now (besides windows still ,-) and was able to build
& install PyLucene 3.6.0.2 on MacOS-X (10.7/intel/Python2.7) without any
problems - that's the good news.
However it was quite difficult for me to get the download files and
installation instructions:
Download:
-------------
From http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/ there is no visible download link
(it even does not contain the word "Download"). There is a hint "Source
distributions are available
<http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/pylucene/> here." on the main
page, below "News", though.
The Install page at http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/install.html has a
download link in the news on the bottom of the page:
"Lucene can be downloaded from
<http://lucene.apache.org/core/mirrors-core-3x-redir.html?>
http://lucene.apache.org/core/mirrors-core-3x-redir.html " ,but this page
only lists the Java version.
In the end I did open this manually "crafted" URL
www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/ and was able to browse to a /pylucene/
folder. (because I didn't see the "source dist" hint in the first place).
Install:
--------
On the Install page at http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/install.html there
are broken links:
"see JCC's <site:jcc/documentation/install> installation instructions " ->
site:jcc/documentation/install
The file INSTALL in the distribution says
--
Please see doc/documentation/install.html or
http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/documentation/install.html
--
But there is no "doc" directory in the distribution! (Same for README which
points to non-existing 'doc/documentation/readme.html' - and the jcc/README
and jcc/INSTALL). Possibly the doc-dir just slipped through the build
process . (I've seen this directory before)
There was some discussion about fixes to the website on the mailing list, so
I thought this would be worth mentioning.
Note there is a nice download button on the Java Lucene site at
lucene.apache.org - that's probably the first thing most devs are looking
for ,-)

Thomas
