One thing we haven’t talked about yet is the Ref Guide for 9.0.

SOLR-14444 re-organized the entire guide and changed a lot of page names. At 
the time I merged this into the main branch there was a little bit of comment 
about trying to provide page redirects for the changed page names but AFAIK no 
one has worked on that yet at all (SOLR-15557).

Then I embarked on trying to move us to use Antora instead of Jekyll 
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/Antora+Migration+Notes), 
which when complete will dramatically change page URL paths. It would be 
sensible and less disruptive for users if we only make page name/path changes 
once, but it isn’t ready yet.

I could try to make a big push to get it done, but I will need some help, and 
of course it is a major change so sort of technically violates the intent of 
code freeze so I won’t kill myself if folks are going to balk at some point in 
February if it does actually get done in time.
