Solr/lucene "planet" + recommendations for blogs to follow
Hello searcherers,
Is there a solr/lucene "planet" like planet.postgresql.org ? If not, what
are some blogs/rss/feeds that I should follow to learn what's happening in
the solr/lucene worlds ?
Thank You

The plugin/extension story is a bit messy. Nobody is tracking those
publicly, apart from solr.cool. There is more in my list somewhere,
but I'd need to collate them.

Alex.

It's why I mentioned the sponsoring.
Another things that's missing is a list of plugins,extensions. How to find
those ? I've seen solr.cool but I thought there would be more, looks kinda
incomplete.

I tried weekly. I did not have personal bandwidth for that. It
actually takes quite a lot of time to do the newsletter, especially
since I also try to update the website (a separate messy/hacky story).
And since English is not my first language and writing short copy is
harder than a long one :-)
The curation project would obviously help once I get to it, as the
same material would contribute to both sources, just in different
volumes.
Thanks for bug report. The screenshot does not make it through to the
public (as this thread is) mailing list, but I'll figure it out. I
have enough info.
Regards,
Alex.

Thanks Alex, some kind of weekly newsletter would be great (examples I
subscribe to are db weekly, postgresql weekly, redis weekly).
If it makes sense, to make it weekly, add some sponsor(targeted) to it, and
it should be nicer. Maybe even include es,lucene if there's not enough
content or there's interest.
A small bug on your site, the twitter widget is on top of the sign-up form
(maybe only happens on small resolutions, happened on fullscreen for me).
See attached screenshot.

I am not aware of any aggregator like that. And I looked, hard.
I, myself, publish a newsletter (Solr Start, in signature, every 2
weeks) that usually has a couple of links to cool Solr stuff I found.
Subscribing to newsletter also gives access to full archives...
To find the links, I have a bunch of ad-hoc keyword trackers installed
for that. Just basic hacks for now.
I am also _thinking_ of creating an aggregator. But not so much the
planet style as a Yahoo-directory/open-directory style. For which
(Yahoo style directory curation and generation), I cannot seem to find
a good software package either. So, I may build one from scratch.
Probably just as hacky, just because my skills are not universal. A
hacky version will probably look like Twitter keyword scanner with URL
deduplication, fully manual curation and Wordpress as a publishing
platform.
But if anybody is interesting in helping with building a proper
open-source one as a small big-data pipeline (in Java), give me a
yell. The non-hacky system will probably need to put together a
crawler (twitter, websites, etc), a graph database, possibly some
analyzer/reducer/aggregator, manual/ML curator/tagger, and (in my
mind) static site builder with Solr (duh!) as a search backend. I have
a lot more design thoughts of course, but the list is not the right
place for multi-page idea dump :-) And I am happy to read anybody
else's idea dumps on this concept, sent off-the-list.
As to "what's happening" - subscribing to JIRA list and filtering out
issue notifications is probably a reasonable way to see what work is
going on. I have filters that specifically catch CREATE issue emails.
I also review release notes in details. That keeps me up to date with
new stuff. Older stuff or in-depth explanations of new stuff is -
unfortunately - all over the place, so it is hard to give a short list
of things to follow. Of course, Lucidworks blog seems to be pretty
active: https://lucidworks.com/blog/

Just noticed that FeatherCast have also put out three podcasts from Apache Big Data Seville about Solr and SolrCloud, these hit my feed on Monday.

I've also tried searching for stuff like this, personally I really like podcasts as you fit them in when you have no time (or brain power) to read.
There are a bunch of old podcasts but most are no longer active (but still have some good content). The only one that I know that occasionally still publishes content is Search Disco, this is a mix of Solr/ES/Lucene and general search topics like relevancy. Only other older one that I still have in my podcast app is SolrCluster but there's been occasional Solr stuff on Software Engineering Radio I think. If you can't find those via a search I can dig out the feed addresses.
For blogs I have yonik.com bookmarked and lucidworks.com/blog and I'll now add Alex's link!
