Yes, contrib should be for anything general and fits within apache guidelines.

SOLR-380 may belong as a contrib (or core) -- i have not looked at it.

Just throwing it out there as an option with fewer restrictions. In particular it would be nice to have off the shelf plugins that can work with:
 * hibernate (LGPL)
 * geotools (LGPL)
 * perhaps LingPipe
 * ...

Nice, nice. I think that's what contrib/ is for, among other things, couldn't we use that?

Thanks!

If there is interest, we could start a non-apache project for plugins
that don't make sense in core or contrib...

Apache Wicket has a project called "Wicket Stuff" on sourceforge that
is a repository for non-core components.  This is where components
linking to non-Apache compatible libraries live and also has very low
barrier to entry (anyone can have commit rights).

I can also run live demos on solrstuff.org... for solrjs, we are
running:
http://example.solrstuff.org/solrjs/

(a solrjs example page should be up shortly)

Hi All,

 I didn't see anywhere to share the plugin I created for my
multipart work (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-380
for more).  So I created one here:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPluginRepository
.  I'm open to other ways of sharing plugins.
