Hello Israel,

I'm Omar Shaban, I'm a software engineer and an Open Source enthusiast from
Cairo, Egypt.
I'm currently the CTO of Wyoos Inc.

I'm building a PHP extension for Apache Solr 4, It was forked from 1.0.2,
the latest version available on pecl. I've noticed there are no activities
on the extension since 2011.

I'd like to have the initiative to continue development on the php Solr
extension starting from version 2.0.0.

I think it's better to have a parallel version to solr 1.x for solr server
3.x
which is php solr 2.x for Solr 4.x

The Apache Solr is growing rapidly and there are a bunch of features to
support.

Here is a link to the git repo: https://github.com/humanoyd/php-solr2

I'm planning on supporting spatial related functionality because it is a
bit complicated using solr parameters, so If we implemented it on the
extension it would be much easier to use, and also continue the JSON writer.

Here are list of changes I've implemented on the extension so far:
- Allow SoftCommit in optimize method instead of waitFlush
- Support ExpungeDeletes and remove Max Segments from commit() [This should
also be done in version 1.0.2]
- Enable softCommit and remove waitFlush in commit()
- Support Overwrite instead of allowDups in addDocument and addDocuments
- Fix Unit tests fail for standalone builds
- Refactor Existing Unit tests
- Additional Unit tests
- Support System Info Servlet

I'd like to have your permission to commit my work on the official
repository, so that people can find it easier and easier for other people
to contribute. Thank you so much for the work you had done in creating and
maintaining the past releases.

I'm so excited about getting started.

Thank you,

Looking forward to your reply,
