At the recent ELAG conference we had a workshop to get started with 
Solr. It is pretty easy to index stuff (even obscure things like MARC 
data) but as far as I understand most times you create an interface 
above your Solr instance - this can be a user interface or a wrapper to 
another API such as SRU/SRW or OpenSearch.

Is there a nice piece of code or a tutorial or example how to easily 
wrap your Solr instance to get a full SRU/SRW and/or OpenSearch 
interface? Converting CQL to Solr query format is just one part of a 
wrapper isn't it?

P.S: By the way we created yet another mailing list for Solr in 
libraries to discuss such things:
