[Solr Wiki] Update of "IRCChannels" by ShawnHeisey
Dear Wiki user,
You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Solr Wiki" for change notification.
The "IRCChannels" page has been changed by ShawnHeisey:
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/IRCChannels?action=diff&rev1=23&rev2=24
Comment:
Added warning note just before the channel links encouraging users to *read* the page. Changed the order of other resources at the end.
- There are a few main things that should be known before joining the discussion on IRC. The links are down near the end of the page, but if you ignore this advice, your experience may not go well:
+ There are a few main things that should be known before joining the discussion on IRC. The links are down near the end of the page, but '''''if you ignore this advice, your experience may not go well''''':
1. Just ask your question as soon as you log in, providing as much detail as you can right up front. If you start with a greeting, asking if anyone is there, or asking whether it's OK to ask a question, chances are very good that you'll be completely ignored. You might interpret this as rudeness, but that is not the intent. Most of the residents of the channel are busy people, and may not even see your question at all because they aren't actually looking at the IRC program on their computer. It takes time to respond to greetings or requests that have nothing to do with the technical nature of the channel, so many of them simply won't respond.
a. When writing your question, please be aware of the [[http://people.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem|XY problem]] trap. Try not to fall into it.

There are two primary IRC channels dedicated to Solr at [[http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml|freenode.net]]. The channel names below are links to a web-based IRC client, preloaded with the channel indicated.
+ /!\ '''''Did you read all of the advice above before scrolling down here to get to the IRC channels?''''' If not, please go back and read, so you have the information needed for success on IRC.
+
* [[http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#solr|#solr]] -- Channel for Solr user questions. This includes development of user client code for interaction with Solr.
* [[http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#solr-dev|#solr-dev]] -- Hangout for discussion of Solr development. Mostly this means development of Solr itself, or for low-level plugin development.
- The IRC channels can be used for online discussion about Lucene/Solr. Committers on the Lucene/Solr project commonly hang out in one or both of these channels. Committers, contributors, and users should be careful to transfer all official decisions or useful discussions that happen on the IRC channels to the [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR|issue tracking system]], this wiki, the [[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Apache+Solr+Reference+Guide|official documentation]], and/or the mailing list.
