Re: C# API for Solr

It would be great to have solr-ruby (the library formerly known as solrb) included with Solr distributions, as well as Flare too. It would give these libraries visibility and usability they'd not see if they required additional downloads or "svn co". I can certainly say that solr-ruby doe

I wonder if it's possible to adjust the document boost without deleting and re-
