Revised 3 top items for status
... of which I've addressed two that were there before, and now have a list of 5. Which are most important?
=== A list of the three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation ===
1. End-user documentation needs to be converted into a usable form
1. Packaged RedHat and Windows installers need to be developed
1. Strategy is needed for developing an Active Directory authority service, for mapping Kerberos principals to AD SIDs
1. Testing strategy under Apache needs development
1. User community needs to be expanded

Oh, better then nothing! :-)
It is on my TODO list to do this exercise of setting LCF. I will try to make
this task top priority for me in the following days.

At first it wasn't clear to me that the connector uses Solr Cell to
send the documents. When I changed the update url, I found out the
tika jar was missing.

Thanks for doing this!
Can you elaborate what went wrong with the SOLR connector? That connector was whipped together in a couple of days, and I don't
have a good testbed for it here yet, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were issues. Or were you saying that it was SOLR
itself that was misconfigured on your setup?

If you are not attempting to use any kind of individual document authorization, you do not need to deploy
lcf-authority-service.war. The SOLR connector does not yet have any capability of sending access tokens into SOLR, so obviously
it's not going to work in that environment as yet.
This reminds me that we still need to work out the full security picture using SOLR, which I will enter a ticket for.

I just finished to set-up an installation of LCF based on your
instructions. I found out my Solr installation wasn't working
correctly and tomcat wasn't running as the user I thought it was,
everything else went fine.
When LCF is only using Solr output and a webcrawler, does it still
need the lcf-authority-service.war?

It's not in the LaTeX documentation; I had intended to write up a document in the Wiki, which I was actually intending to start
tackling today. ;-)
In the meantime, it would be great if somebody on this list tried to set up an installation of LCF based on the instructions
I've already written. I went through that exercise here last week, but then again I'd written them myself, so how useful can
that be? ;-)

The wiki pages now include three new "How to Write..." pages, for output connectors, authority connectors, and repository
connectors. Please review them and let me know where you feel they are inadequate.
Thanks,

Karl,
would it be possible to write at least short info about how to implement a
new Connector? I looked at wiki pages but did not find this information (or
is it in the LaTeX user doc?)
Thanks,
Lukas
