[ckan-dev] Solr 8 with CKAN

[Steven De Costa]

Sounds cool to me, but not from a technical viewpoint (i‘ll Leave that with
others).

Sounds cool because I was hoping that Bati who has started in the Ethiopia
team could start writing up some of these install guides and take on much
of the Sysadmin Support questions which come in.

Can I intro the two of you and you can mentor him a little on what folks
would need in such guides?

Cheers,
Steven
