## General Discussion: general@lucene

## IRC

There are two primary IRC channels dedicated to Solr at [freenode.net](http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml).

- <b>#solr</b> -- Channel for user questions
- <b>#lucene-dev</b> -- [Logged Channel](http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_logs/lucene-dev) for Lucene development questions

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

## Mail Archives

The Solr Wiki maintains a list of searchable mailing list archives at [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/MailingListArchives](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/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.
