This is why I think we should figure out smart ways to manage facets
independently of Lucene index fields. Solr populates a facet by setting
up a bitset for every value found in a given index field, and it uses
those bitsets to filter query result sets by deriving an intersection
set. We can

What is a bitset? Is it a Java class or a more primitive data

As we move towards experimenting with a Solr-based opac I'm hoping to
persuade everyone involved that MODS is sufficient to drive the search
interface. Let MARC abide in the ILS, and become a mere spirit of malice
that gnaws itself in the shadows, but cannot again grow or take shape.

Re the eXist 1.1 development line: I'm tinkering with that now - tried
populating two different collections at the same time over webdav
connections from two different machines, and ended up with a corrupt db
(content from one source ended up in documents supposedly written by the
other). Darn.
I don't see any aggravation of this problem because of the hybrid
approach Bess is proposing. You've got enough flexibility in the way you
set up your Lucene index, and Lucene search results give you access to
the term weights for each hit, so you can tell which fields actually
matched.

And ideally make the editing functions accessible via APIs as well, so

This was more or less what I was thinking of in my hackfest suggestion
to embed Lucene in a Firefox extension; but I hadn't thought of using it

One question is certainly, Who will this journal serve?
The more I think about it, the more I think the main justification for a

I agree with Ed Corrado that the purpose of the peer-review process is
to improve the articles, not to give thumbs-up or thumbs-down. How about
making the review process consist of submitting an article into a wiki
