Re: Poor tool detail on lucene.apache.org/solr/ site

[Adam Walz <ad...@adamwalz.net>]

I’m not a committer but I wholly disagree with this sentiment. The amount
of information in the solr reference guide is vast and it is the first
place I go to find out how some component works. I rarely have to go to the
code when there is some piece not documented in enough detail in the
reference guide.
