OK, here's another shot that adds a second paragraph that describes a little more the form that Solr takes. Again, I'm thinking of reusing the first two big descriptive paragraphs (starting with "Solr is the popular") on Solr's home page, as it's main description. -Yonik http://www.lucidimaginati

I'm also trying to reuse the first paragraph to come up with an update to our front page description to basically define Solr. I'll think about how I can fit in the cross-language aspects... Perhaps it deserves a second paragraph. One characterization of Solr I've heard in the past is that it's j

release announcement draft

2009-10-31 Thread Yonik Seeley
Putting my marketing hat on... here's a draft for a release announcement on other sites like theserverside (for an audience that may or may not be familiar with what Solr is). I've tried to keep the new feature list limited, while still trying to convey the scope of this new release. Thoughts?
