>NO. We will either fix bugs in the current UI or remove it altogether.
:) This is effectively a "fix[ing of the] bugs" in the current UI. I did not
change much of the design. Kept the framework (in name), preserved most of the
design except the really confusing or outdated bits, and added basic tests with
the intention fo adding more. If I remove the package management piece from the
discussion, I don't see any work from you at all. I'm sure I could work with a
few others in the group to help with the ongoing maintenance of the UI,
particularly those interested in security and usability of Solr. There are
quite a few committers who focus on those areas.

[~noble.paul]Nor is a package management system. It's also a nice to have.
There are many ways and many people on the team that could review or evaluate
the tool for functionality or bugs. It is still a work in progress, and I don't
think I have to work with you on getting it implemented as a package. It can
more easily be started by Jetty. All of the tests and start commands can drop
into the existing pipeline. My offer to add it as a package was an attempt to
create a package that almost everyone would use, and to make the UI a
first-class citizen there, so it might one day be easy for a UI contributor to
make a browser for the package manager itself. If you do not want to
collaborate, that is fine by me.

> Key: SOLR-14414
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14414
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: Admin UI
> Affects Versions: master (9.0)
> Reporter: Marcus Eagan
> Priority: Major
>
> We have had a lengthy discussion in the mailing list about the need to build
> a modern UI that is both more security and does not depend on deprecated, end
> of life code. In this ticket, I intend to familiarize the community with the
> efforts of the community to do just that that. While we are nearing feature
> parity, but not there yet as many have suggested we could complete this task
> in iterations, here is an attempt to get the ball rolling. I have mostly
> worked on it in weekend nights on the occasion that I could find the time.
> Angular is certainly not my specialty, and this is my first attempt at using
> TypeScript besides a few brief learning exercises here and there. However, I
> will be engaging experts in both of these areas for consultation as our
> community tries to pull our UI into another era.
> Many of the components here can improve. One or two them need to be
> rewritten, and there are even at least three essential components to the app
> missing, along with some tests. A couple other things missing are the V2 API,
> which I found difficult to build with in this context because it is not
> documented on the web. I understand that it is "self-documenting," but the
> most easy-to-use APIs are still documented on the web. Maybe it is entirely
> documented on the web, and I had trouble finding it. Forgive me, as that
> could be an area of assistance. Another area where I need assistance is
> packaging this application as a Solr package. I understand this app is not in
> the right place for that today, but it can be. There are still many
> improvements to be made in this Jira and certainly in this code.
> The project is located in {{lucene-solr/solr/webapp2}}, where there is a
> README for information on running the app.
> The app can be started from the this directory with {{npm start}} for now. It
> can quickly be modified to start as a part of the typical start commands as
> it approaches parity. I expect there will be a lot of opinions. I welcome
> them, of course. The community input should drive the project's success.
