Sorry maybe a question which is already tackled..

Shouldn't solr-ruby and act_as_solr be a single plugin? It seems
like duplicated effort.. or am I missing something.. i.e combine
all the functionality..

Cheers

Antonio,

Not necessarily. The acts_as_solr plugin is _only_ intended for use
with Ruby on Rails, as for solr-ruby being a DSL, you can use it with
pure ruby as well without the dependency of Rails.

Antonio - I've recently started digging deeply into acts_as_solr  
(after my initial hack that Thiago spun off).  I've been refactoring  
acts_as_solr to use solr-ruby under the covers, which will make the  
code base a bit cleaner and facilitate things like using the dismax  
query handler.

Just this morning I got the refactoring complete such that all unit  
tests pass for acts_as_solr and will be submitting a patch for that  
soon.

It does seems like combining solr-ruby and acts_as_solr would be a  
good idea, actually.... but that would  complicate solr-ruby quite a  
bit with database/Rails-specific code.   I'm not in a hurry for that  
sort of integration, but I'm quite open to it.  I'm not sure where  
Thiago stands with that level of integration though.  I believe he's  
new to solr-ruby, so we'll give him some time to come up to speed  
with it for commenting back.
