Lucene Top Level Project Page

This page is for stuff related to the Lucene Top Level Project (i.e. the PMC and committers) since it isn't worth spending the time to setup a whole separate wiki page.

What is the TLP (and/or the Lucene PMC)

The TLP is the organizing umbrella for all of the Lucene projects (Lucene Java, Solr, Mahout, etc.)

The Lucene PMC is a group of individuals charged with "running" the TLP by making sure Lucene subprojects follow Apache guidelines. The PMC consists of http://lucene.apache.org/who.html. Lest you think the PMC is some secret organization, we pretty much do everything in public on the general@lucene.apache.org mailing list. We do some stuff in "private" (the private@lucene.a.o mailing list is viewable by any PMC member or ASF Member, so it isn't really private), like vote on adding committers to projects, but for the most part, our goal is to be as open as possible.

How the Lucene PMC Works

The Project Management Committee is defined by the ASF at http://www.apache.org/dev/#pmc.

Updating the Website

http://lucene.apache.org/

(NOTE: You need committer rights to modify the Lucene Website.)

Updating the website requires forrest v0.8 – people have reported problems Using Java 6 with forrest 0.8, so make sure to use Java 1.4 or 1.5.

Steps to make changes...

  1. svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/site site
  2. cd site
  3. Make your desired website changes to the source files in the subdirectory src/documentation
  4. Optionally, run forrest run and browse to http://localhost:8888 to review the changes and iterate. You should be able to modify the source documents and hit reload on your browser to see the changes.
  5. When you are satisfied with your changes, stop the forrest server and then regenerate the site by running forrest site
  6. Recursively copy build/site/* to publish/* by running cp -r build/site/* publish
  7. Verify your changes: svn status
  8. svn commit all changes (to the forrest sources and publish/*)
  9. SSH to people.apache.org
  10. cd /www/lucene.apache.org
  11. svn up
  12. Wait for it to propagate
