I'm not tied to solrb. The original intention of that name was "sol.rb" to spin off of the Spanish spelling of sun. And I think naming the gem "sol.rb" literally is a bad idea for syntactic reasons in that it'll likely trip something up along the way (are there gems with dots in their names out there now?). So, here are some ideas tossed out for renaming consideration: solr-ruby ruby-solr solr-client solr My $0.02: "gem install solr" implies installing Solr itself which we currently are not going to do. "solr-ruby" or "ruby-solr" are more suitable to me. I don't personally mind "solrb", but I can see how it isn't all that pleasing to others. Thoughts? Erik
