Hi Gary, Thanks a lot for your response.
I would like to provide a set of instructions for Solr set up for development and deployment, so that everyone would be able to use my approach for searching. What are the target platforms for deployment? Should I include Windows, along with Linux and OS X? Would be easier to write a shell script that performs the installation and setup, or just point to a set of instructions? I look forward to hearing from you.

As long as we can find enough information to replicate the setup, that should be fine. It could be good in the long run to have (or, perhaps better, be able to point to) instructions that will show various options for installation and deployment but that can be looked at beyond the end of the project if necessary. As an ASF project, Lucene are likely to provide instructions for installing Solr from source and will probably mention one or both of Tomcat or Jetty in it. If you prefer a package manager based installation, that should be fine too. Unless you have a compelling reason to go for Tomcat, if Jetty looks easier then I would go with that. Hope that is helpful! Cheers, Gary
