[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-12349) Update Web-site "Features" section
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12349?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16497758#comment-16497758 ]
Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-12349:
------------------------------------
[~ctargett] do you know if anyone at LW have the skills to pull this off? We might need to create some new graphics in-line with the style guide and do some "copywriting".
I also feel that our website is fairly week when it comes to highlighting *new* features. We have generic release announcements with a boring bullet list to highlight the changes. But we don't have anything on the landing page or features page showing what is new and cool, with supporting graphics or screenshots. Things like this take time to write, but perhaps if we had an ambition to write a new "blog-style" page on the Solr website when releasing a new major version (i.e. once a year), then that page i.e. "Highlights of Solr 8" could showcase the new features in 8.0 including worthy candidates from 7.x versions the last year. We could then prominently link to this page from the top of the landing page. WDYT?

> Key: SOLR-12349
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12349
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Task
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: website
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Priority: Major

> The page [http://lucene.apache.org/solr/features.html] is a long list of features. On the top, the most prominent Solr features are highlighted in a "sales-like" manner with a graphical icon and short description. Below that are sections with more in-depth descriptions of various aspects of Solr:
> *Data Handling, Query, Facets, Discovery, Plugins & Extensions, Statistics & Aggregations, Spatial, Rich Content, Performance, Scaling, Admin Interface*
> However, this page is lagging behind and should be reworked (not just add to the end) to capture and highlight recent features such as:
> * Streaming Expressions
> ** SQL & JDBC
> ** Joins
> ** Statistical engine
> ** Graph
> ** ML
> * Auto scaling & Metrics
> * CDCR and HA
> * LTR
> * Security
> * ...more
> I think perhaps a key to success is to dare to remove some content that perhaps was impressive at the time but not worthy a mention anymore :)
