I did a really small bulk-change for the 10 oldest LUCENE/SOLR issues without activity, and tagged them SPRING_CLEANING_2013
That should spin off some activity, probably some will be closed due to various reasons, and perhaps some will be revived? If this proves effective, I'll do a new bulk in a week or so for the 25 issues never touched since 2008. I think that portioning THIS out in time in smaller chunks will gain more attention than a big bang thing. I'll probably also do some more manual inspection on some of the oldest which are obviously not relevant any more. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com Solr Training - www.solrtraining.com 15. feb. 2013 kl. 01:24 skrev Jan Høydahl <jan....@cominvent.com>: >> but arbitrarily deciding an issue should be closed just becuase it's old >> doesn't really make sense to me to me. > > That was never the suggestion either.
