Hi Today we have separate JIRA projects for Lucene and Solr. This, IMO, starts to become confusing and difficult to maintain. I'll explain:
* With modules, we now have components in the Lucene JIRA project for different modules (some under modules/* some under lucene/contrib/*). Will we have the same components duplication in the Solr JIRA project? * Where do users go to open a bug report for a module - Lucene or Solr projects? I'd hate to see that they open it under their "favorite" (or worse. random picking) project. If so, it'll become a mess. * Administration -- everything needs to be done twice. Create versions (same one !) on both projects, close issues (after release) etc. * Managing a release now means I should monitor two JIRA projects for the 3.2 (an example) version issues. Why? I guess I'm not too sure what do two JIRA projects give us. Now that it is the same project, why not make our (committers and contributors) life easier by having one JIRA project w/ components: lucene/core lucene/contrib/<xyz> modules/<xyz> solr/core solr/contrib/<xyz> general/* (test, build) It's already becoming confusing: LUCENE-3097: post grouping faceting -- a great example for a module that both Lucene and Solr users can use. Opened under Lucene project, and depends on Solr issues (not a big deal) LUCENE-3104: could easily have been opened under the Solr project. I don't know why it was opened under Lucene (random maybe?) Can we merge the two? Shai
