Updating Lucene/Solr home pages with news of the Solr book
Hello Solr devs. I'd like to see news of my book "Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search
Server" placed on the Solr home page. Yonik suggested that Lucene's home
page would also be suitable. The more people that buy the book, the more
that Apache Software Foundation is supported (5% royalties).
The link to PACKT should be:
http://www.packtpub.com/solr-1-4-enterprise-search-server?utm_source=http%3A%20%2F%2Flucene.apache.org%2Fsolr%2F&utm_medium=spons&utm_content=pod&utm_campa%20ign=mdb_000275
(yes it's kinda long; it's used to track the link click-through).
You can also see an image on PACKT's site. You can click through to a
larger one if desired.
I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for me to write the news blurb since
I'm not a Lucene/Solr committer but I can if you'd like me to.

: Thanks Hoss for clarification and the specific URLs you referenced. It's
: awkward to have the site managed in this manner instead of using some sort
: of online CMS/publishing webapp.
one man's trash, ... every CMS i've ever used had me wishing i could just
edit text files and check them in. (and this way, it's easy to include
copies of all docs in releases)
: I've updated a couple xml files and added an image. Erik, can you simply
: accept them from me in an email to you or....
...create a jira issue, just like any other patch.

Yes the book was a ton of work; more than anticipated. Never again, though
maybe an updated edition some day maybe.

By which Erik means patches to the website *sources* (not patches to the
generated HTML). Both Solr and the main lucene site use forrest to
generate the sites...

You might want to take a look at how LIA got added to the LUcene-Java left
nav and submit a path that does hte same thing for Solr's site...

David,
Best way to make this happen is to submit patches to the desired
projects websites (and of course self add the book to the wiki spots
too).
And congrats on the book! I know it's a lot of work, more than one
expects going into it. And the never ending Solr 1.4 release hasn't
helped either.
Erik
