Flavio: One of the great things about having people continually using Solr (and SolrCloud) for the first time is the opportunity to improve the docs. Anyone can update/add to the docs, all it takes is a signon. Unfortunately we has a bunch of spam bots a while ago, so it's now a two step process 1> create a login on the Solr wiki 2> post a message on this list indicating that you'd like to help improve the Wiki and give us your Solr login. We'll add you to the list of people who can edit the wiki and you can help the community by improving the documentation.
