Sitemap to get latest reference manual to rank in Google/Bing?

When I get web search results that include the Solr Reference Guide, I often get older versions (6.6, 7.4) in the results. I would prefer to always get the latest reference (https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/index.html).

I think we can list the URLs for that in a sitemap.xml file with a higher priority to suggest to the crawlers that these are the preferred pages.

I don’t see a sitemap.xml or sitemap.xml.gz at https://solr.apached.org <https://solr.apached.org/>.

Should we prefer the latest manual? How do we build/deploy a sitemap? See: https://www.sitemaps.org/

Hi Walter,

You emailed the Lucene dev list (dev@lucene.a.o) but I think you meant
to ask this question to the Solr list (dev@solr.a.o).
