In case you've missed it, "svn up". :)
I've made the rename of the solrb directory to solr-ruby, and will
soon get around to adjusting references to solrb to be solr-ruby
wherever I find 'em. If you're interested, feel free to adjust the
wiki before I get to it, or point me to places that need changing.
We'll patch up the Rakefile to build the properly named solr-ruby gem
distributable files (I'll await Ed's response on what's needed for
that).

It has been discussed in the past and even more today in the
#code4lib chat room that we ought to rename the solrb package so
that things start aesthetically pleasing:
gem install solrb
apparently doesn't strike a chord with everyone. 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?
