A little edgy in #code4lib today about where we* are going with solrb
(the Ruby/Solr domain-specific language API), so we're going to add a
bit of process by fleshing it out via the solrb section of the Solr
wiki. Below is the first draft, though I've revised it some since
then slightly. Click the link to add your ideas.
Notice you can get e-mail notifications of Apache wiki changes,
though you'll have to sign up for the solr-commits e-mail list -
email a blank message to [log in to unmask] -
and you'll also see the gory details of svn commit messages (not only
in solrb/flare, but also to Solr itself). Reviewing code commit
messages is a practice I highly recommend, for what it's worth.
Erik
* we is us. I'm really working hard on making this a collaborative
community-oriented effort. Our pre-conference will hopefully consist
of a few folks that have gone along for the solrb/flare ride over the
next several weeks and will be literally experts in the domain by then.
