I'm working on the live URL thing. An early hack on a different codebase, of course, is Collex at <http://www.nines.org/collex>. It's Rails + Solr also. Flare is about 100 lines of code in Rails, which utilize the solrb library to communicate to Solr. You can actually check it all out and run it yourself with the dataset shown. I'll be updating the Flare wiki with instructions on getting up and running as soon as possible, but here's the quick step- by-step: 1. GET CODE: svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/ trunk/client/ruby solr-flare 2. BUILD SOLRB LIBRARY: cd solr-flare/solrb ; rake package ; gem install pkg/solr/solrb-0.0.1.gem 3. LAUNCH SOLR VIA JETTY: cd solr ; java -Dsolr.solr.home=../examples/ delicious_library/ -jar start.jar 4. (new shell) IMPORT SAMPLE DATA: cd solr-flare/solrb ; examples/ delicious_library/dl_importer.rb examples/delicious_library/ sample_export.txt 5. LAUNCH RAILS: cd ../flare ; script/server 6: HIT IT: http://localhost:3000 Prerequisites: Rails 1.2, Java 1.5+ (err, 5.0+, sheesh).
