Great! Wow!
What are the difference between flare and act_as_solr as of today?
I been playing around with ruby/rails for about a month and its fun!
my thoughts were (i.e. after my playing around period) to create a
frontend presentation framework and seems like you have already put
the project into motion with flare :-) and it will be nice to
collaborate and contribute.
As you have already set things into motion I wonder if you have
thought about how you would like to execute the presentation
framework.. i.e do you have any frontend rails app that I can start
hacking away... Bottom line I am trying to figure out where and how
should I start... I have gone through the flare wiki but I am bit
confused cos script/server webrick to localhost:3000 gives me "link to
wiki" and app/controller/ doesn't have any code as of todays checkout
so I am not sure what I am missing from the wiki todo list... Maybe I
am completely lost :=)
Are you planning to use the Solr Jira for issues? or will flare have
its own jira?
Cheers

Ruby is lots of fun... and with the goodness of Solr behind it, the
UI experience will be truly amazing. The success of Flare will
change the face of a lot of library systems in the world, at the very
least.
On a more pragmatic level, I'd love for you and others to review how
I've put the ASL in some of the files, but not all. I'm not sure if
generated code (by the Rails application generator) needs to have the
ASL attached to it, or how this sort of thing should be handled.
Thanks!
