My Solr application is literally a week or less away from public
deployment. It's the Google/del.icious(ok, ok, Simpy!)/Flickr of
19th century literature. It's working very nicely as a Ruby on Rails
front-end with a bit of AJAX coolness for Google-suggest like
behavior (with the data coming from a custom Solr cache) and tons of
faceting. I've still got some work to do in order to use Solr's
caches as they were intended (I currently hacked a bunch all into
one, essentially, so its all in RAM for now). My group is very
pleased with the effectiveness of Solr.
And I'm embarking on a side consulting project that will use RoR+Solr
in very similar ways too.
Best wishes with the AC presentation. I'm envious - it's quite fun
to present something as spectacular as Solr.

p.s. I'll gladly add our site to the PublicServers page when we go live.

I'll be giving a Solr presentation at ApacheCon EU shortly.
If there is anyone who is using Solr and wants their company/site
mentioned in the presentation, let me know.
You can also update http://wiki.apache.org/solr/PublicServers if
you like.
