These emails from Nagendra are very confusing. I've asked him in the past to be explicit about his announce and make it clear that it is an external project.
Since I don't think he has changed how he does announce since that request, allow me to help out: Please note: This project has nothing to do with Apache. It is a completely external project that apparently uses Apache Solr. It's not supported by or endorsed by Apache or the Lucene/Solr projects. It's simply a project that an external user is promoting on the Solr mailing list. - Mark Miller lucidimagination.com On Jul 22, 2012, at 5:07 PM, Nagendra Nagarajayya wrote: > Hi! > > I am very excited to announce the availability of Solr 4.0-ALPHA with > RankingAlgorithm 1.4.4 with Realtime NRT.
