Nightly builds

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

The solr download link does not point to or mention nightly builds.
Are they out there?

Given that prose, I can see why you have done what you've done. I
don't agree with the prose, but that's another story for another
location. Though I guess the author would probably respond to me by
encouraging me to encourage you to vote and formally release beta or
alphas or something to give brave people exposure to new features.

"Do not include any links on the project website that might encourage 
non-developers to download and use nightly builds, snapshots, release 
candidates, or any other similar package. The only people who are supposed 
to know about such packages are the people following the dev list (or 
searching its archives) and thus aware of the conditions placed on the 
package."

For these reasons, we speicifly do not link to nightly builds off the main 
website (but we also don't retroactively edit news from 2006)

We do however mention/link to the nightly build system on the wiki pages 
targeted at developers.

Actually they are linked on the hp but unfortunately not directly:
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/#21+February+2006%3A+nightly+builds

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I obviously misunderstood your question.

The reason for the email is not that I can't find them, but because
the project, I claim, should be advertising them more prominently on
the web site than buried in a wiki.

Where I come from, an lmgtfy link is rather hostile.


Oh, and you might want to fix the spelling of  'Author' in your own signature.
