ERSolr - under development?

2012-02-16 Thread Brook, James
Is ERSolr under active development? I started working on it but I wonder whether it's worth doing if someone else is already doing the same thing. There are quite a few obvious TODOs in the source, including the ability to index and delete documents via the adaptor. If people use ERSolr for keep
