LuceneTM Mailing Lists and IRC

Java User List: java-user@lucene.apache.org

This list is for users of Java Lucene to ask questions, share knowledge, and discuss issues. Do send mail to this list with usage and configuration questions and problems. Also, please send questions to this list to verify your problem before filing issues in JIRA.

Developer Lists

Developer Discussion: dev@lucene.apache.org

This is the list where participating developers of the Java Lucene project meet and discuss issues concerning Lucene/Solr internals, code changes/additions, etc.

NOTE: Please do not send mail to this list with usage questions or configuration questions and problems; that is what the java-user and solr-user mailing lists are for.

IRC

There are two primary IRC channels dedicated to Lucene at freenode.net.

  • #lucene -- Channel for user questions
  • #lucene-dev -- Logged Channel for Lucene development questions

The IRC channel can be used for online discussion about Lucene related stuff, but developers should be careful to transfer all the official decisions or useful discussions to the issue tracking system.

Slack

The project's Slack channel is the #lucene-dev channel in the the-asf organization. Link: https://the-asf.slack.com/messages/CE70MDPMF

Mail Archives

The Lucene Wiki maintains a list of searchable mailing list archives at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/lucene/MailingListArchives. No endorsement is implied by the listing of an archive on the Wiki.

Other Mailing Lists

Each Lucene project maintains its own mailing lists. Please refer to the project you are interested in for details on subscribing to its mailing list.
