Erik, Sounds great. My account there is paulwilsonbrown - do you need anything else? I have just completed some successful test runs using the QueryParser interface and running through docs with some very light ruby specific glue for arrays and so forth, so I think I should be able to release something shortly that might work for some of the people some of the time in some use cases. Ahem. Can't expect too much more from a weekend though I guess.
