Interesting. The project was somewhat "slow" for a while but now
that I checked it's all up and running with 0.07. Do you have any
interest of using Streamlined in Flare?
I don't actually envision using Streamlined as-is, but rather being
Streamlined-like. Streamlined is very ActiveRecord dependent. While
I've yet to settle on exactly what Flare is, my current thinking is
that it'll be a Rails plugin that becomes the "Streamlined of Solr".
I think there will be more to it than just that, and being Rails-
centric is not the goal, but rather one nice integration point to
have. I think what we build will be applicable to Camping and the
next cool Ruby web framework too.
Furthermore are there more rails plugin that you envision using? if
so what?..... would be nice to get a head start :-)
Currently I don't foresee using any other Rails plugins as Flare
dependencies. Though in a similar vein as Streamlined, we ought to
roll in the acts_as_solr feature similar to the acts_as_ferret plugin.
Anyone out there integrating an ActiveRecord model and Solr/solrb?
If so, would acts_as_solr make your life easier?
