Contribute To Solr

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Apache Solr project. Solr continues to improve via the many contributions of developers around the world and new contributions are welcomed and encouraged.

Your suggestions and comments can be made directly through the Apache Solr JIRA.

There are many ways to participate in and contribute to Solr, such as: code implementation, test implementation, documentation improvements. Participating in the user mailing list, being active on Solr Slack answering questions and providing feedback to developers are also powerful ways to contribute to Solr. The community is also always looking for moderators for the mailing lists.

If you have any questions along the way, you can reach out to the community using the resources provided here.

Be A Mailing List Moderator

Being a list moderator is incredibly easy - the basic responsibilities are:

Get a copy of any email sent to one of the Solr lists from an address that is not subscribed and review it to see if it's spam or not. Occasionally help people with particular difficulties unsubscribing to the mailing list.

If you'd like to volunteer to be the moderator of a mailing list, just contact listname-owner@solr.apache.org... (ie: users-owner@solr.apache.org...)
