Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on SOLR-6520:
---------------------------------------------
I could argue about this, except you are linking to the WIKI from those same
pages already. So, all you are doing, is giving a preferential treatment to
WIKI instead. And, if the users do - somehow - manage to find the reference
guide from the Google search, the problem you described has not gone away.
So, I would still say, link to the reference guide wherever you have a wiki
link right now and mention the future-looking status in brackets. Link to the
PDF for the active version next to it, to make it easier for the people on the
old version.
I thought the current state was due to somebody missing the obvious. Now, it
looks like a case of premature DE-optimization. :-)
> Documentation web page is missing link to live Solr Reference Guide

> Key: SOLR-6520
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6520
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 4.10
> Environment: web
> Reporter: Alexandre Rafalovitch
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: documentation, website
>
> The [official document page for
> Solr|https://lucene.apache.org/solr/documentation.html] is missing the link
> to the live Solr Reference Guide. Only the link to PDF is there. In fact, one
> has to go to the WIKI, it seems to find the link.
> It is also not linked from [the release-specific documentation
> page|https://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_10_0/index.html] either.
> This means the search engines do not easily discover the new content and it
> does not show up in searches for when people look for information. It also
> means people may hesitate to look at it, if they have to download the whole
> PDF first.
