the design of the solr admin page
http://myhardshadow.com/poll.html If you have a second, please answer this single question poll about the look of the solr admin pages. It would be nice to gauge what the community thinks of the current look. Take off of my question earlier to the solr dev list: http://www.nabble.com/solr-admin-look-td18556364.html Obviously a lack of votes will signal a lack of interest in the look of the solr admin pages, which is basically option 4. - Mark
solr http 500 look
What about commenting out this piece of outdated code in SolrServlet:
} catch (Throwable e) {
SolrException.log(log,e);
sendErr(500, SolrException.toStr(e), request, response);
}
For instance, SUN Java 5 not necessarily has resources to output
OutOfMemoryError including stack trace; only JRockit can do it... I
understand that historically SOLR developers tried to implement full power
of HTTP, but let's be more pragmatic...
P.S.
It didn't reach SOLR-DEV. Forwarding to SOLR-USER.

Re: the design of the solr admin page
That's like asking if Solr should be made faster or easier to use :-) No logo/cosmetic changes have been made to the admin pages recently because no one has taken the time to find consensus and submit a patch. Getting everyone to say "yes let's change things for the better" won't change anything. Perhaps a poll about what logo people prefer would be a more concrete step? -Yonik On Sun, Jul 20, 2008 at 2:56 PM, Mark Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://myhardshadow.com/poll.html > > If you have a second, please answer this single question poll about the look > of the solr admin pages.

Re: the design of the solr admin page
I certainly think a logo vote is in order, especially considering Shalin's reply. However, I do think the poll is useful. While I don't think the current look is that great, its certainly possible the community disagrees and is happy with it. Starting an initiative to change things would not make a lot of sense in that case. There are limited votes at the moment (around 10) but its interesting to note, none have voted that they like the current look (though some dont care). With an appropriate data point that a lot of people are looking for a look improvement, I can point to that when I come up with an idea to prompt some new designs from the community. If I can point to data showing that the community is looking for ui improvement, an enterprising designer will know his work is in demand and will be appreciated. Then again I could be wrong. But in either case, armed with my data, I'm on a personal mission to make the UI look great, and whatever concrete steps are ahead, I'll be more than happy to pitch in. My issue is that I am not a great design guy - but I know there are plenty of great design guys out there - I just want to flush them out, and let them know their work is desired. - Mark Yonik Seeley wrote: That's like asking if Solr should be made faster or easier to use :-) No logo/cosmetic changes have been made to the admin pages recently because no one has taken the time to find consensus and submit a patch.

Vote on a new solr logo
From the dev list: Shalin Shekhar Mangar: +1 for a new logo. It's a new release, let's have a new logo too! First step is to decide which one of these is more Solr-ish. I'm looking to improve the look of solr, so I am going to do my best to push this process along. Not to keep shoving polls down everyones throat, but if you could, please go to the following site and rate the solr logos that you love or hate: http://solrlogo.myhardshadow.com/solr-logo-vote/ If you want to submit a logo as a candidate, I am working on allowing auto upload if possible, but you can just shoot me the logo at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will add it right away. Thanks for any and all cooperation in improving the look of this fantastic software. - Mark
