Unfortunately, towards the end, I had to move to less public work. So the current public code is a few months short. That puts it in a tough place someone else to jump into, beyond maybe looking at some isolated things. I had a thought that maybe I would eventually do something with the final product, but unfortunately, I’m just to well compensated currently.
The bigger issue with it doing more for Solr is that the whole thing is more of a philosophy of development shift. All the little changes just stepping stones towards a couple broad guiding lights. You can start a project that way, but it’s a different story to change a project. It becomes a never ending multi pronged argument / discussion on 1000 items. “I don’t think this item is the way I’d do it, I like this.” “Yeah, but it’s not about each item, it’s the cumulation and coordination of all these items that gives you *this*”, “okay, but also this other item - that seems over kill and I’d just go this way.” And on and on. Just the nature of things.
