This isn't enough for a whole session or workshop, but we've been using Solr for a lot of small-to-medium-sized projects, and I've been interested in ways to optimize an environment to host a lot of little Solr instances (multicore?). I've also been working a bit with Solango (Solr & Django) and am interested in what kind of development is happening with Solr connectors for simple webapp frameworks like that. -Andy Just one topic to toss out there.
