[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1873) Update site lucene-sandbox page

["Steven Rowe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1873?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12750148#action_12750148 ] 

Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-1873:
-------------------------------------

I think we should add generation of {{Contrib-Changes.html}} from {{contrib/CHANGES.txt}} to the {{changes-to-html}} target in {{build.xml}}:

{code:xml}
<exec executable="perl" input="contrib/CHANGES.txt" output="${changes.target.dir}/Contrib-Changes.html" failonerror="true">
  <arg value="${changes.src.dir}/changes2html.pl"/>
</exec>
{code}

and then link to it from near the top of {{lucene-sandbox/index.xml}}, something like:

{code:html}
<p>
  See <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_0/changes/Contrib-Changes.html">Contrib CHANGES</a> for changes included in the current release.
</p>
{code}

> The page has misleading/bad info. One thing I would like to do - but I won't attempt now (prob good for the modules issue) - is commit to one word - contrib or sandbox. I think sandbox should be purged myself.
> The current page says that the sandbox is kind of a rats nest with various early stage software that one day may make it into core - that info is outdated I think. We should replace it, and also specify how the back compat policy works in contrib eg each contrib can have its own policy, with the default being no policy.
> We should also drop the piece about being open to Lucene's committers and others - a bit outdated.
> We should also either include the other contribs, or change the wording to indicate that the list is only a sampling of the many contribs.
