I started Ruby work last year for Solr here:

<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/solr/trunk/client/ruby/>

solr-ruby is a Ruby library interacting with Solr that bundles into a
gem and even bundles into a Rails plugin directory structure. I've
been manually updating RubyForge with local builds of the gem as
unofficial (< 1.0) builds.

flare is a RoR plugin (enabling faceted browsing, full-text search,
Ajax suggest) for Solr.

I'd love to have Apache support Ruby infrastructure-wise in terms of
being an official gem server, etc.

So count me in for supporting (and helping if I can) in these efforts
to Rubyify Apache a bit more :)

Re: Buildr - I've yet to give it a serious try, but I've been
following the e-mail list and have tinkered with a much older version
of it a while ago. Great stuff!
