             Summary: "Getting Started" guide for Luke 
                 Key: LUCENE-9459
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9459
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules/luke
            Reporter: Tomoko Uchida


While Luke has been very popular, widely accepted tool to Lucene users 
(including Solr and Elasticsearch users) for 10+ years, it lacks good 
documentation and/or user guide. Although Luke is a GUI tool that describes 
itself, it's not good for new users.

The lack of documentation is partly due to my laziness though, there is some 
inherent difficulty of explaining such low-level tool; if you don't know Lucene 
you don't understand Luke's capability or usefulness, if you once understand 
Lucene at some level, it's obvious to you and no explanation is needed.  :)

Nonetheless, it would be great if we have "Getting Started" documentation for 
Luke on our web site for new userd/devs.

We may be able to have a Markdown file with some screenshots and usage 
descriptions, then convert it to HTML by Gradle task,  so that we can publish 
it with whole API documentation.
