Honestly I try to switch to Chrome every month or so, but it just doesn't do what Firefox does for me. I've actually been using a Firefox mod called Pale Moon [1] that takes out some of the not so useful features for work (parental controls, etc) and optimizes for current processors. It's not a

I tried Vimium and found it lacking, which actually led me to Vimperator. If I remember correctly, though, Vimium allows you to set your own bindings so perhaps the emacs bindings are already out there somewhere. Joel -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries

Jason, Thanks for the info. Nokogiri is alright, but I've found that, as far as XML processing goes, Saxon is above and beyond the best. Is it possible fire off a Java call from Ruby to have Saxon handle it, or not? Are you using Nokogiri to call an XSLT process or using Ruby to generate the

Hi, Ethan. You can see another example of blacklight being used to search and display EAD guides at http://nwda.projectblacklight.org/?f%5Bformat_facet%5D%5B%5D=Archival+Collection+Guide I've used solr and/or lucene for EAD documents a few times, and here are some observations: I've also

I also think it's better to store EAD in a separate system rather than in the Solr index, that way you can use blacklight to serialize it or store a reference to a separate delivery system. Bess's and Matt's approach to storing the whole collection (EAD file) as a solr document in addition to

Mark, How are you creating the EAD docs in Fedora? At present, we're using archivist's toolkit to dump out ead xml files and then I index them in solr, with blacklight displaying the entire document as well. It's messy and it would be nice to make a more efficient connection between the

Hi Adam, I posted an update last Friday on a project I have been working on since last fall called EADitor, an XForms application for creating, managing, and publishing EAD collections. I'm using an eXist datastore, but one could adapt the XForms application to load and save data to and from

I wonder how the field collapsing patch holds up on an index that contains 3 million documents, probably larger than your EAD-only one, but thinking about combining EAD in an index with many many other documents (like with a library catalog). Might be fine, might not. (Even without field

Huh, since the highlighter only needs to run on the documents in the actual returned section of the result set (10-50?), I wouldn't think total number of documents would matter much (I certainly could be wrong), but total size of each document's stored field definitely has a known performance
