I updated the Ref Guide for 8.7 to include a link to the plugin repo (for all plugins which have an established repo, not just DIH), hoping that would help answer user questions and spur adoption. That’s just a super-minor thing, but it’s something.
If Rohit doesn’t have time to be a maintainer now and no one else wants to be, would a separate GitHub org help that? I understand the motivation for sharing the burden…I guess you’re thinking that single org would allow people to be maintainers on multiple plugins? Draft for 8.7 Guide is here if interested to see what I did: https://nightlies.apache.org/Lucene/Solr-reference-guide-8.x/uploading-structured-data-store-data-with-the-data-import-handler.html On Oct 15, 2020, 3:52 PM -0500, Jan Høydahl <jan....@cominvent.com>, wrote: > Some of those issues are opened by me, not beause I plan to be a DIH > maintainer myself, but I was hoping that Rohit had some real interest in > forming a comunity. > Turns out that the plugin is as good as dead on arrival, which is really > disappointing. > > We as the donator could perhaps help by sending an email, with a reminder > that DIH is being deprecated and that the new plugin really needs more > maintainers. > That’s why I filed https://github.com/rohitbemax/dataimporthandler/issues/12, > else people arriving to the page would not even know how to contribute or > become a committer. > I could whip up a PR for the README inviting contributors, but I’m honestly > not so sure that newcomers would feel welcome, as their contributions would > likely attract no attention :( > > So I wonder if instead someone (Ishan?) should setup a new GitHub > organization, migrate the project there, and add Rohit and others as > maintainers.
