How best to fork Solr for enhancement

Hi,

I've (hopefully) made some time to do some work on the Solr Admin UI
(convert it to AngularJS). I plan to do it on a clone of the lucene-solr
project at GitHub.

Before I dive too thoroughly into this, I wanted to see if there were
any best practices that would make it easier to back-port these changes
into SVN should I actually succeed at producing something useful. Is it
enough just to make a branch called SOLR-5507 and start committing my
changes there?

Periodically, I'll zip up the relevant bits and attach them to the JIRA
ticket.

TIA

Upayavira

There is other options like Ember or Backbone, either way AngularJS is well adopted.




Alexandre, your question is about the radical change between versions?





In some way this shows progress and support to the framework.




Other good reason is that AngularJS has a ton of components ready to use.

I'm somewhat open to other suggestions, as I'm right at the beginning of
the project. I know Angular, and like it. I've looked at a couple of
others, but have found them to be more of a collection of disparate
components and not as integrated as Angular.

However, if folks want to have a discussion on competing frameworks, I'm
at least prepared to listen!!

Note - the design goal is to make it as easy for *Java* developers to
work with. Folks who are typically back-end developers, thus the
framework must isolate the developer from UI quirks as much as possible,
and handle have some form of design abstraction.

You can make github play well with Apache Infra. See
