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.
Mail Archives
The Lucene Wiki maintains a list of searchable mailing list archives at http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/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.
