Cassandra Targett created SOLR-12018:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Ref Guide: Comment system is offline
Key: SOLR-12018
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12018
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: documentation
Reporter: Cassandra Targett
The Ref Guide uses comments.apache.org to allow user comments. Sometime in
December/early January, it was taken offline.
I filed INFRA-15947 to ask after it's long-term status, and recently got an
answer that it an ETA is mid-March for a permanent INFRA-hosted system.
However, it's of course possible changes in priorities or other factors will
delay that timeline.
Every Ref Guide page currently invites users to leave comments, but since the
whole Comments area is pulled in via JavaScript from a non-existent server,
there's no space to do so (see attached screenshot). While we wait for the
permanent server to be online, we have a couple of options:
# Leave it the way it is and hopefully by mid-March it will be back
# Change the text to tell users it's not working temporarily on all published
versions
# Remove it from all the published versions and put it back when it's back
I'm not a great fan of #2 or #3, because it'd be a bit of work for me to
backport changes to 4 branches and republish every guide just to fix it again
in a month or so. I'm fine with option #1 since I've known about it for about a
month at least and as far as I can tell no one else has noticed. But if people
feel strongly about it now that they know about it, we can figure something out.
If for some reason it takes longer than mid-March to get it back, or INFRA
chooses to stop supporting it entirely, this issue can morph into what we
should do for an alternative permanent solution.
