I think this would be great and I would be very happy to contribute.

For example I am currently trying to understand how the autocomplete / auto suggest functionality of Lucene works and I could contribute my learnings.

All the best

Hi Devs,

I'm finally motivated enough to start this thread as I believe this is a
great thing to do for the Lucene community to continuously thrive as the
library has become so feature-rich but as the same time much more complex.

"What do you recommend to read for learning more Lucene?" -- A question I
was often asked by my friends and coworkers at Amazon Product Search . I'm
sure many of you have experienced the same. I always recommend Lucene In
Action 2nd Edition[1] which is a great book. However, it features *Lucene 3.0*
and we are at *Lucene 9.0* now! There is a huge gap.

Inspired by my recent experience with the Rust Book[2] and the Solr ref
guide[3], I believe it is possible for the Lucene community to collaborate
on writing a book/user guide just like how the software is built in the
open-source way!

Concretely, it will require to first draw the outline of the book with clear intentions for all sections. Then the effort should be able to scale, allow-
ing individuals to work on different sections in parallel. Once built, the
book should be a live artifact and evolve together with Lucene.

Thoughts?
