It does not. Current Wiki is extremely out of date, and offers no incentives or automation around having the plugins published there. Plus the Wiki itself is in a transition and no real decision has been taken about either fate of current wiki or the proper public contribution models to the new Guide. This needs to be structured, discoverable and actionable. Not difficult, just structured in the right way. Google does not work mostly because Solr articles/modules/extensions has moved from information availability and into the information abundance with the significant need for curation. Yes, something could be done by heroic efforts of one individual (subscribe to my solr-start.com mailing list for an announcement in a relevant area), but a proper package support is needed. >> So, I would love us to (re-?)start the serious discussion on the >> plugin model for Solr.
