Yes, your understanding is correct. Because the Solr Reference Guide is released as official documentation in PDF form shortly after each new minor Solr version, only committers have the ability to edit the confluence wiki. Anyone can comment on it, so we do have a feedback mechanism. Anyone can edit the MoinMoin wiki, after they ask for edit rights and provide their username for the Solr portion of that wiki. Asking for edit permission is typically done via this mailing list or the IRC channel. Because they have different potential authors, the two systems now serve different purposes. There are still some pages on the MoinMoin wiki that contain documentation that should be in the reference guide, but isn't. The MoinMoin wiki is still useful, as a place where users can collect information that is useful to others, but doesn't qualify as official documentation, or perhaps simply hasn't been verified. I believe this means that a lot of information which has been migrated into the reference guide will eventually be removed from MoinMoin. Thanks, Shawn
