I like Mark's suggestion of marking the announcement as an external
project. Will add that to future announcements.
Regarding the announcement itself, Apache Solr with RankingAlgorithm has
made available NRT functionality to Apache Solr from version 1.4.1.
There were lots of requests/JIRAs for this functionality (sometime back)
which had not been addressed in Solr. So announcing on this list to let
know everyone in the community that this functionality is available with
Apache Solr, is the right way to do it right ? The whole list is made up
of developers who are using Apache Solr and who are interested in
hearing about Apache Solr related stuff. I am not sure why any one will
get offended by an announcement that NRT functionality was available
with older releases. Apache Solr 4.0 does support NRT functionality now
with soft commit but Realtime NRT is another way of providing the
realtime functionality (much faster than soft commit). The breath of
Apache Software Foundation is for innovation to come in not only from
organized groups as Apache Solr or Apache Lucene but also from
individuals, small business or even large well funded business. The ASF
license also promotes that innovation may not be masked and provides
ways to bundle closed source with open source. Apache Solr with
RankingAlgorithm is available for free to everyone. It will provide
innovative ways to search that may not be available with regular Apache
Solr. So I think it is fair to announce a new release on Apache Solr
mailing list.
This announcement was made as Apache Solr 4.0-ALPHA is a major milestone
Solr release. This would be similar to Python support for Apache Solr or
other announcements related to Apache Solr being announced on this list.

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.

Hi!
I am very excited to announce the availability of Solr 4.0-ALPHA with
RankingAlgorithm 1.4.4 with Realtime NRT. The Realtime NRT implementation now
supports both RankingAlgorithm and Lucene. Realtime NRT is a high performance
and more granular NRT implementation as to soft commit. The update performance
is about 70,000 documents / sec*. You can also scale up to 2 billion documents*
in a single core, and query half a billion documents index in ms**.
RankingAlgorithm 1.4.4 supports the entire Lucene Query Syntax, ± and/or
boolean queries and is compatible with the new Lucene 4.0-ALPHA api.
You can get more information about Solr 4.0-ALPHA with RankingAlgorithm 1.4.4
Realtime performance from here:

You can download Solr 4.0-ALPHA with RankingAlgorithm 1.4.4 from here:

Please download and give the new version a try.
