If you would like to Solr-ize your contribution, that would be great. The
focus of the book will be hard-core Solr.

Hi Jack,
I'd like to ask as a person who contributed a case study article about
"Automatically acquiring synonym knowledge from Wikipedia" to the book.

To those of you who may have heard about the Lucene/Solr book that I and
two others are writing on Lucene and Solr, some bad and good news. The bad
news: The book contract with O’Reilly has been canceled. The good news: I’m
going to proceed with self-publishing (possibly on Lulu or even Amazon) a
somewhat reduced scope Solr-only Reference Guide (with hints of Lucene).
The scope of the previous effort was too great, even for O’Reilly – a book
larger than 800 pages (or even 600) that was heavy on reference and
lighter on “guide” just wasn’t fitting in with their traditional “guide”
model. In truth, Solr is just too complex for a simple guide that covers
it all, let alone Lucene as well.
Will the "reduced Solr-only reference guide" include my article?
If not (for now I think it is not because my article is for Lucene case
study,
not Solr), I'd like to put it out on my blog or somewhere.
BTW, those who want to know how to acquire synonym knowledge from Wikipedia,
the summary is available at slideshare:
