+1 Yeah, I think the solr code stuff could stay under there. But I agree that the following can be moved out:
- cross-dc-manager - ref-guide - benchmark - distribution - docker(?) - licenses We should also make a solrj directory that hosts the various solrj modules. Docker I'm 50/50 on. But I think it does belong outside. Then the UI I could go either way. - Houston On Fri, Jul 31, 2026 at 7:27 AM Eric Pugh <[email protected]> wrote: > The extra nesting under /solr/ for a lot of things is quite annoying….
