Yep a solr "cookbook" with lots of different example recipes. However these would need to be very actively maintained to ensure they always represented best practice. While using cocoon I made extensive use of the examples section of the cocoon website. However most of the, massive number of, examples represent obsolete cocoon practise. Or there were four or five examples doing the same thing in different ways with no text explaining the pros/cons of the different approaches. This held me, as a newcomer, back and gave a bad impression of cocoon. I was wondering about a performance hints page. I was caught by an issue indexing CSV content where the use of &overwrite=false made an almost 3x difference to my indexing speed.

Yep I agree, all whizzy new features should ideally be on by default unless there is a significant performance penalty. It is not enough that to issue a default solrconfig.xml with the feature on, it has to be on by default inside the code. >> >> - Mark > >----------------------------------------------------- >Eric Pugh | Principal | OpenSource Connections, LLC | 434.466.1467 | >http://www.opensourceconnections.com >Free/Busy: http://tinyurl.com/eric-cal Fergus
