Antonio - I've recently started digging deeply into acts_as_solr
(after my initial hack that Thiago spun off). I've been refactoring
acts_as_solr to use solr-ruby under the covers, which will make the
code base a bit cleaner and facilitate things like using the dismax
query handler.
Just this morning I got the refactoring complete such that all unit
tests pass for acts_as_solr and will be submitting a patch for that
soon.
It does seems like combining solr-ruby and acts_as_solr would be a
good idea, actually.... but that would complicate solr-ruby quite a
bit with database/Rails-specific code. I'm not in a hurry for that
sort of integration, but I'm quite open to it. I'm not sure where
Thiago stands with that level of integration though. I believe he's
new to solr-ruby, so we'll give him some time to come up to speed
with it for commenting back.
